Wednesday April 1, 2009 - Block 4A

Had students go to the front board and sketch their PDB heating and cooling curves. Discussed the results. Allowed students to check/add annotation on the graphs and then collected the reports. Guess that went ok but several students just did not do the assignment and did not make their graphs.

Handed back the Reading Assignments that several students did not hand in. I wanted to go over the material but students were not that interested. Eventually I gave up and handed out the finding boiling point worksheet and kinetic theory worksheets.

Maybe I should have just done the Fractional Distillation Lab since the students weren't learning anything, but then again, students ignored what I told them about the fractional distillation lab when they did the boiling point worksheet.

Just a bad day at class - have to figure out what to change for tomorrow's class.
