Update for 11-5-2010
Here is the update for today:
Practical Chemistry:
• From this point on, please arrange to have the assembly and testing of your homemade water purifier at your own place after school. Due to the fact that very few people have brought in the materials and supplies for today's session, class time will not be given to the physical assembly and testing of the project. Remember, the deadline for the delivery of your water purifier and product brochure is Nov. 19 (no extension).
• Possible test next week.
Regent Chemistry 1:
• HW #17 is past due.
• Lab. Report #7 (and online lab "Chemical Change" for Tuesday's session) are both due next Monday.
• Possible Unit Exam late next week.
Have a good weekend.

SmartScience Online Lab Instruction/assignment
To My Regent Chemistry 1 Classes:
****************
For Tuesday 11/2/2010 Period 1 (and Period 9) Sessions: You are to complete SmartScience Online Lab. Titled: "Chemical Change" completely before your regular lab. report deadline (next Monday). This will be graded as a regular lab. and entered on your grade report.
****************
• The main purpose of SmartScience Online Labs is to provide you an opportunity to satisfy the NYS mandatory Regent Lab Requirement if you had missed regular in-class hands-on lab sessions. It is meant to be a supplement, not a replacement, of the regular labs. Hence, your performance on the online labs will not affect your regular course grade (unlike the regular labs which account for 20% of your course grade) - unless it's a lab specifically assigned by your teacher.
• The student must complete the whole lab (Pre-lab Quiz, Post-lab Quiz, and Final Lab Report) in order for that specific lab. to be counted as "satisfactory". Since your interim progress report indicated the number of labs that you missed up to that point, you are responsible for making up those numbers of labs in a timely manner (preferably right after your missing lab. sessions).
• You can access the SmartScience online labs. in the following manner:
a) Go to SmartScience Lab's URL address directly.
b) Select your class (look for Dr.Liu-Period # RegentChem1), and then select your name.
c) Type in your 9-digit StudentID (OSIS) number and select "Login".
d) Open the Window for the lab. session, this should start your JAVA running and get the session started. You will then be able to select the lab. activity. Be sure to click submit after you finish the entire lab.
* If you have trouble, make sure you use a different browser and make sure JAVA is installed on your computer (Preferred browser - Firefox).
• Listed below is a list of SmartScience online lab. activities that are assigned for Chemistry 1 term. I tried to arrange the order of the labs roughly according to the pace of our curriculum with increasing difficulty level, so the best approach for you to make up the lab is to start with lower number labs first before proceeding to the higher number labs. For example, if you need to make up two Chem 1 labs, go to Chem 1 Lab List and select two lowest number labs (e.g. 1 & 2) to make them up. For make-up labs, work on the labs that are not assigned in class.
Regent Chem. 1 Lab List:
1. Lab Glassware Exercise
2. Measurement
3. Volume Graph
4. Chemical Change
5. Brownian Motion
6. Gas Volume-Temperature
7. Gas Pressure-Temperature
8. Liquid Volume-Temperature
9. Periodic Table Activity
10. Chemical Periodicity
11. Molar Volume
12. Hydrate Analysis Procedure
13. Analysis of Hydrates
• Write me an e-mail if you have any question (but read the whole instruction first).
