Deutsche Welle - US-Außenminister Blinken zu Besuch in der Ukraine
Lesson Outline
Listened to the 9 am news from Germany for today from the Deutsche Welle and also read the corresponding news clip and Joshua translated it using a dictionary and critical thinking and we discussed it. Then used the past tense in German to discuss the past weekend, Mother's Day, etc.
In today’s class, we continued on with our topic of an introduction to organic chemistry. Specifically, we continued to name and categorize functional groups and names of hydrocarbon chains. We went over the basics from things like benzene to more complex groups such as haloalkynes and thiols.
In today’s class, we began our introduction into organic chemistry. Primarily, we discussed alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. We went over how they are similar and different from one another and how to identify and draw them from scratch. We also went over saturated vs unsaturated hydrocarbons. At the end, we finished with some practice problems that Joshua did very well with.
Today was our last day together before Joshua takes his AP exam today. I am confident he is ready. I answered some last minute questions he had. We reviewed the formulas he is supposed to have memorized. He is capable of getting a 5. I am excited for him to take it and report back to me.
