Today, I handed tests back and went over the key. I also explained how to do test corrections to earn back 75% of missed points. If you are not happy with your score, corrections need to be done by next Monday (November 7th). We also started the Alchemy unit with a unit ChemCatalyst. For the next class period, please draw pictures for Alchemy #1 Procedure, Parts 1 and 2.

In class, we finished MM#9 by doing some notes and the check in. We then started MM#10. Instead of the lab, I showed a computer simulation that can be viewed to answer questions 4 - 7. You don't need to do Analysis 1-3. To finish, do questions 8-13 and the practice questions. The making sense question is extra credit.
Also, the review for the test Friday was available.
