Mendeleev look out! These are directions to see a Periodic Table of Elements that are highlighted and show different sections, isotopes, noble gases, metalloids, and other neat stuff.
Directions: Go to google images, type in Peiodic Table. It should be the 4th one.
Mouse over some of the elements! Very good source. Super cool!

Help
Mr. Wilson,
Can you help me. You ask, "How does the structure of atoms and molecules affect their behavior" I thought this was a little confusing because our red class never got into the discussion of how atoms behave. Can you help to clarify this

3.1 and 3.2
What is necessary for fermentation and for cellular respiration? (this question was asked by Mr.Wilson in a response).
Subset to quality of life and co2 emissions
Can you explain the question below that Chris wrote, using three Quality of Life factors? His question: "How do you cut back on CO2 emissions while remaining with the constant struggle to expand and revolutionize technology in a country or Physical system?"

Important Question
Co2 is a constant threat to the people in our society today. They constantly face the problem of using to many fossil fuels, and how to cut back on Co2 emissions. The question is how do you cut back on CO2 emissions while remaining with the constant struggle to expand and revolutionize technology in a country or Physical system?

Energy and Sustainability
Is it sustainable to continue using non-renewable energy resources? Why or why not.
Consider the impact on the economy and how realistic it is to change. Use any knowledge of our current dependence on non-renewable energy, how non-renewable energy is transformed into electricity and the laws of thermodynamics.

Exam Question
There will be a question on the exam that asks you to choose 3 of the "quality of life" measures discussed in Activity 6.1. You will be asked to explain why and how they indicate the level of development (i.e. more developed or less developed) in a country. Use the blog to caucus with your fellow 8th graders by posting "comments".

#11 on the Test
A few students came up to me on Friday asking about #11 on the test. They said that you could not answer it with the information given. I looked at it and gave it back saying you could. I should correct myself. Using the information from the lab, which was the assumption I was working from, you could, but as is written, you cannot answer the question. Having said that, the question is based on the the parameters from the book: 75mL of hot water is poured into the calorimeter and the various substances are placed in between the inner and outer wall of the calorimeter. Post your questions to this blog if you have any further ones. Ms. Bonebrake and I will be out on Thursday and Friday for a conference on sustainability.

Welcome Class of 2012
This weblog was set up last year to help 8th grade science students prepare for tests/exams and to allow you a way to easily answer each others questions. In a few weeks, we will begin work on the class wiki which will serve as your study guide for the T2 science exam, which is on February 21st.
