Rate of reaction lab. Iodine clock reaction. Lab will demonstrate how the chemical reaction will occur based on the time for a specific iodine-starch reaction to occur and show a positive reaction for iodine.

As the AP course neglects essay writing comparing two works, I have assigned an analytical paper requiring Joshua to compare Hester P from the Scarlet Letter with Nora from a Doll's House in the context of a feminist character. We first discussed the article I distributed addressing whether the play, A Doll's House, is a feminist play or more universally, a humanist play. Next, I addressed the need in the first paragraph to provide a definition of a feminist character in the context of 19th Century literature. We then edited the first paragraph to incorporate contextual definitions of feminism and to compare Nora's brand of feminism focused on individual self actualization to Hester Prynne' s view which addresses the need for vast societal changes.

Discuss how AC and DC electric current differs electron movement. Discuss how AC and DC differ in production and ability to travel along a wire. Use a schematic sketch of a generator and discuss how it operates. Show how to convert AC to DC. Discuss the advantage of AC for proprietary use and long range current. Introduce step-up and step-down transformers, show schematic sketches of each and discuss how each is utilized. Introduce electric power and energy

We will go over the assigned problems on conics. We will do more examples if time allows. We will preview parametric equations.

I worked with Joshua to complete his services page and we moved onto work on creating the services page.

Introduce and solve some problems which require the use of Ohms law to solve. Discuss why amperage can be drastically different between a light bulb and a toaster, both using the same electric source. Introduce DC and AC current, discuss the differences and determine why a battery is direct current.

Define rate in terms of concentration and time. Determine that both are measurable. Use an example of the decomposition of a specific compound to outline how to determine the rate of the reaction. Show that the rate is a negative number due to decomposition. Note that the rate is always expressed as positive, even when decomposition. Discuss that the rate of reaction decreases during the course of a reaction.
Review and analyze homework questions and answers.

We studied how the play's climax and resolution create a change in Nora's perspective and reveal her character. In order to explore character, we first contrasted as foils Mrs Linde and Nora., Mrs. Linde's self worth and identity remain tied to living for others, specifically , a man; by contrast, Nora rejects societal standards, religion, law, and all book knowledge asserting her right to educate herself and to discover her own answers and worth wholly independent of her marriage. Nora always remained hopeful of some "wonderful" event occurring . We discussed the "wonderful event' as well as the significance of the play's title as revealed in the dialogue-Nora as a doll or play thing first for her father and later for her selfish husband.
