In class today we did the following:
1. Dr. H spoke briefly about the eTextbook and the Multi-Tiered testing process in the class. See D2L (especialy the checklist for Week 1) which covers all the details about these items.
2. Then we got into the main content for the day: Toipc #2 on Matter & Energy Overview - Part 1
Topic
# 3 ENERGY & MATTER OVERVIEW [pdf]
- A key part of the class was the "hands on activity" to review the basics of matter and the PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS
- Missed it or want to review it?
See Class Notes pp 95-96 and get the dot diagrams and layout table to place them in at the following link: Periodic Table Activity on Your Own

3. We then watched the first 7
minutes of the PBS NOVA show:
Saved
by the Sun .
(you can view
it again yourself in at this

We'll be
watching the rest of it in segments in upcoming classes.
As a follow up, learn more by going to the Nova website and
viewing "How do Solar Panels Work? "

on the "Launch Interactive" button will give you a more detailed look
inside a solar cell than was presented in the film.
