Today’s class was very . Mr. Henderson was not in class today, so we had a substitute. Our class began when Mr. Doody from the TLC came to talk to our class. He told us about how great the TLC is for helping with chemistry, as well as all other classes offered at GBS. Mr. Doody also advised us to frequently use the textbook as a study tool and not to spend more than ten minutes on a problem. We then went to the computer lab to do the Rutherford Simulation Lab, which is a computer activity. We were given a sheet that gave us all of the directions for the lab. We went to the website http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations for the lab, which was completed in our lab notebooks. After completing this lab, we went to http://www.blogger.com/chemthink.com to do the atomic structure tutorial. After completing the tutorial, we filled out a table on the lab sheet.

The answers should look like this:

Once we completed the lab, we were supposed to cut the table and put it into the left side of our lab notebooks. For homework, we had to finish the lab if we had not already in class.

Today’s class was very productive!
