Update for 1-14-2015

Here is the update for today:

Earth Science 1:

•  HW #23 (Due Tomorrow):  Worksheet - Metamorphic Rocks.
•  Completed Lab. sheet #15 will be due tomorrow.
•  Reminder:  The deadline for all make-up assignments and Dept. Final Exam will be held THIS FRIDAY!!
•  The ES Final Exam will consists of 40 multiple choices questions.  It will cover everything from September and all the way up to and include the current unit of Rocks & Minerals (which shall be concluded tomorrow).  The exam will include the following topics:
     1.  Observation, Inferences, and Measurements (e.g. Density)
     2.  Locating Positions on Earth (e.g. Latitude & Longitudes, Contour Maps)
     3.  Dynamic Earth (e.g. Earthquakes, Earth's interior structures, Plate Tectonic Theory - origin and evidences)
     4.  Rocks and Minerals (Identifications & Classifications, with emphasis on ESRT)
There are a number of sources which would be useful for study for the exam (listed on the right-hand panel of this blog), but I think Regents Prep.Org provide a good topical summary review on each topic, and then follow up with question practices should help you become familiar with the materials. 

Regent Chemistry 1:
•  HW #24 (Due Tomorrow):  Worksheet - Conversion between Mole and Mass.
•  Completed Lab. Report #15 will be due by Friday.
•  Reminder:  The deadline for all make-up assignments and Dept. Final Exam will be held THIS FRIDAY!!
•  The Chemistry 1 Final Exam will consists of 40 multiple choices questions.  Topics to be covered on the Final Exam: Classifications (Pure Substance vs. Mixtures), Physical vs. Chemical Properties, Heat vs. Temperature, Separation of Mixures, Atomic Configurations and Atomic Models Developments, Periodic Table and Periodic Trends of Properties, Chemical Bondings (ionic, covalent, and metallic),Molar Mass and % Compositions. For online resource to help you study, this should be a good starting point.
