Physics: Electrostatics

This year, I decided to try the electrostatics labs from Eugenia Etkina’s PUM curriculum. The effects were pretty visible and just about every student, including the ones concurrently enrolled in AP Chemistry where they just finished Coulomb’s Law, made some observation they found surprising.

Chemistry: Review

In preparation for tomorrow’s lab, I had students balance the equations for the reactions they’ll be doing, as well as categorize each reaction into the five types that were introduced right before break.
