I introduced the topic of logarithms to Samantha and showed her examples of how to convert exponential equations to logarithmic expressions. She was able to calculate logarithms with given bases to integers raised to rational exponents. I showed her how to use some of the properties of logarithms to expand or contract logarithms. There was no assignment.

Lesson Comments
Samantha seems to go through mood swings and is constantly looking for distractions from whatever topic we're covering.
We reviewed Sam's corrections to her exam on lobbying and made notes on the role of the First Amendment in protecting interest groups and lobbyists. I have asked Sam to review the case summary I provided on the Citizens United case as this decision is so critical and timely and to rewrite her response to the exam question asking for the Court's holding. As Sam has requested a review of the judiciary and of the most recent chapter on federalism, I have prepared outlines that require her to focus on certain pages in the text and then to complete the outline questions. I will work with Sam on completing these exercises and address all of her concerns or questions as she works through each portion of each exercise. Sam indicated this process was very helpful .Today ,Sam began the outline exercise on the federal judiciary and asked questions when she encountered an area where she was uncertain. I reviewed with her the homework on the outline on state's rights I provided last week, and we added information and made any corrections where necessary. For homework, I assigned completion of the outline questions on the judiciary and rewriting her exam response about the Citizens United holding.
To describe and explain the major types of solutions based on the solvent used. The most common solution utilizes water as the solvent. These are classed as aqueous solution. I will discuss the common solvents which are soluble in water. Alcoholic solutions will be discussed next, with the common solutes used and the reason for this solvent's use. We discussed the classification of alcoholic solutions into elixirs, tinctures and alcoholic solutions based on the concentration of alcohol in the solution.
Examples of gaseous solutions and solid solutions will be discussed. Examples of each type of solution will be listed and briefly discussed. A solution of oxygen or carbon dioxide in water to produce seltzer, or a solution of alcohol in water to explain and describe the term miscible... We will discuss the most common solution which will be solids dissolved in liquids and the choice of solvent for common solutes. The final type of solution will be solid solutions, with the solvent being a solid, like mercury in gold to form an amalgam, or water dissolved in sugar to form a moist solid, or carbon dissolved in iron to form steel.

Lesson Comments
In an attempt to finally arrive at a course which will be best suited for Sam, I discussed the possibility of a course which will concentrate on drugs and chemicals affected the nervous system. this will involve an in depth study of the nervous system, nerves, receptors, and responses, as well as contraindications. I need a final decision from Sam
Informed Samantha that the type of solution is based on the solvent. We will then discuss the most common solvents for compounding a solution and that the solution is named based on the solvent. They will be aqueous, alcoholic,tinctures,solid, and gaseous solutions. The degree of solubility of the solute will also determine the solvent needed. Solutions which are going to be applied externally will require solvents which are compatible with the ph of the skin and are hydrophyllic.

Samantha was not present for the class. I also will discuss with her the possibility of a course in the pharmacology of nervous system altering drugs. She discussed that she was very interested in that area. I will speak with her and outline to her that this will involve the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. It will involve the anatomy and physiology neurons and especially the organ called the brain. It will be a fairly complex investigation of the brain, nervous system, normal and abnormal chemical effects as well as the chemistry of different classes of these compounds
This is the first lesson of the integrated course I am developing for Sam.
Discuss the terms mixture, pure substance, homogenous, solute, solvent.
Relate to lotions for external use and some internal ingestion

Lesson Comments
Sam had a bottle of Snapple on her desk which became a good starting point. She read the ingredients on the label and we discussed the states of matter in which those ingredients existed.
Using the physical appearance of the snapple, a definition of a homogenous solution was arrived, along with the terms solute and solvent. The different forms of solutes was discussed, along with the use of specific solvents for a specific purpose, like dissolving urea in oils for use on dry skin.
