Homework:
Read pages 101-106 in the Chemistry Text Book. There is no question today.

Class Today:
The lab today was called the "Black Box Lab." You went around the lab stations trying to find out the blockade in the black circle container. It was filled with a bead and you had to figure out the blockade without opening the box. After you felt confident in your answer you had to write the numbger of the black box down and then draw what you thought the blockade was. It was extremely confusing and difficult, often leading to extremely odd answeres from some of the class members.

This however was an extremely amazing metaphor for scientists Dalton, Rutherford, Bohr and Thomson whom all tried to decide what the shape of an atom was. They didn't have any microscopes that could see anything that tiny. Hence, the "Black Box Lab."

Reminder:
There is going to be a quiz on all four of these scientists soon. Do the worksheet assigned today that you can use on the quiz. Take notes from the four sheets that Mr. Paek gave us and you'll be good to go.

Also, the test is on Oct. 8th and the Lab test is on Oct. 11th.

Plus, if you want to retake your Lab Test, then tell Mr. Paek what day and period you're coming in.

The next scriber will be Kaylee.
