Elicit a definition for the law of inertia, incorporating rest and motion, uniform speed and straight line motion. Demonstrate differences in inertia due to weight and mass differences. Relate mass to inertia and define weight. Discuss why an object with greater mass possesses a greater inertia and requires a greater force to change it.
Outline using Haber process the production of ammonia using nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. Determine both the forward reaction. and the reverse reaction. Discuss equilibrium definition and the rate of both reactions. Analyze a graph which indicates when equilibrium is reached, and reaction rate is steady in both directions. Define product favored and reactant favored reaction with acids and ionization

Lesson Comments
Joshua answered 17 of the 24 assessment questions for unit 1, grade of 5 on the scale.
Joshua continued studying the AP vocabulary and the AP main idea videos in Unit 1 followed by completing the AP topic questions on the lesson. He then started the next section on letters. I have posted all of the unit 1 lessons on AP classroom for him to study and complete this week.
Unit 1- short fiction /characer,point of view/setting
Lesson Outline
Today we worked on writing claims and citing supporting evidence in response to two AP prompts on the function of character and setting. As Joshua completed two practice essays for homework, in preparation for tomorrow's test ,we reviewed my comments and suggestions on how to expand his analysis. Joshua is making very demonstrable progress in addressing these difficult AP format questions. We then addressed how to write a paragraph with a claim and evidence in response to a prompt on narrator perspective when the narrator is not a character in the book. Joshua commenced a draft which we began to review in class. He will finish it for homework as a means of studying for the test tomorrow.
We will continue our study of the derivative rules for functions by stating the sum, product, and chain rules. We will also prove the rule for the sine function and state the rule for the cosine function. This will be followed by looking at the relationship between differentiability and continuity. The session will end by doing practice problems using the rules.

Lesson Comments
We completed all topics in the session today and also had time to do some practice problems. It was a very productive day.
Complete the data charts from Thursday's lab. Review the results. Plot a graph of the distance V time. Discuss questions and observations listed on the lab report.
Outline and discuss net ionic equations. Use 2 examples to demonstrate the method of arriving at the net ionic equation formulation. Discuss chemical equilibrium to demonstrate conversion of reactants into products followed by products into reactants. Outline how and why nitrogen reacts with hydrogen to form ammonia, and how ammonia decomposes into nitrogen and hydrogen as a reverse reaction. Define chemical equilibrium.
Unit 1- short fiction /characer,point of view/setting
Lesson Outline
In preparation for our Unit 1 test on Tuesday, we today reviewed Joshua's work on the AP Personal Progress check for unit 1. He did extremely well on the MCQs and we discussed the one question where he had some uncertainty. We then reviewed his essay interpreting a first person narrative. I provided comments on the "complexity" or tension evidenced in the passage and made suggestions for a rewrite discussing the conflicts between reality and the narrator's perception in terms of dramatic irony. For homework , he will rewrite this essay and work on more practice exercise.
On AP classroom, Joshua has completed section 3 on conversation and charts including the topic questions , and today worked on section 1 titled Promotional Material which contains vocabulary lists and instruction . He will completed the topic questions on this section for homework,.
We will prove several derivative rules including the constant, sum, difference, and power rules. This will enable us to differentiate polynomial functions. We will also do examples as time allows.

We completed the lesson. Hopefully the textbook will arrive next week so we can focus on practice problems and Josh can work on doing examples on his own to confirm his understanding of the material.
