Binder Check! Make sure there are no loose papers (EC notecards are an exception) and that each section is properly labeled.
Each section should have the oldest material in front and the newest in the back.

Formal Lab Report for Antacid Lab due. You may use the attached Antacid Lab Worksheet to help you complete the lab. This is to be done individually.
Items to turn in:
- Formal Lab Report (if you want to send me a soft copy, please join Google Classroom using your PYLUSD e-mail. You will be able to upload your Formal Lab here.)
- Antacid Lab Worksheet (stamped)
- Antacid Lab Pre-Lab (stamped)
Question: Can I put "we" and "you" in the lab report?
Answer: Please refrain from using "we" and "you." I know it may sound like bad English, but you may have to use the passive voice. Here is an example:
Avoid Active Voice with "we" --
"We added a total of 5mL of vinegar to the antacid before the pH of the solution changed to 4."
Use Passive Voice without "we"--
"A total of 5mL of vinegar was added to the antacid before the pH of the solution changed to 4."
Question: Is there a calculations section in the lab?
Answer: No.

Need help with the graphs? Here is an example of a pH (titration) curve using the Carbon Dioxide/Bicarbonate Buffer System (http://www.chemistry.wustl.edu/~edudev/LabTutorials/Buffer/images/Titration.jpg).
Interesting in learning more? Check out the full webpage here: http://cpr.molsci.ucla.edu/cpr/cpr_info/rsc_preview.asp?a_id=700100&r_id=res001&e=e. Just realize that this is from the Department of Chemistry of Washington University in St. Louis. You will not need to know this information for our class but it will be awesome for all those philomaths out there.

Here are the antacid prelab notes. Tomorrow, we will be looking at 16 different antacids:
- Pepto-Bismol (liquid)
- equaline Stomach Relief (liquid)
- Gaviscon (liquid)
- Phillips' Milk of Magnesia (liquid)
- Maalox Advanced (liquid)
- di-gel (liquid)
- Rolaids (liquid)
- Alka-Seltzer (tablet)
- Gaviscon (tablet)
- Maalox Advanced (tablet)
- Tums Ultra 1000 (tablet)
- equaline antacid tablets (tablet)
- equaline acid reducer (tablet)
- equaline stomach relief (tablet)
- Rolaids (tablet)
- di-gel (tablet)
We will be testing these antacids to see how much vinegar can be added to them before they change to a pH of 4. Do a little research (even if it's your own personal experience) to see what can be found about these antacids so you can have a hypothesis for tomorrow.

Chemistry Problem Set #2 corrected in class. Use this to help you in your studying and turn it in before the test on Friday.

Observations are pieces of information that you receive through your senses. Inferences are conclusions made from your observations based on prior knowledge and experience. Though similar, observations and inferences are different and should be distinguished. Although two scientists may observe the same thing, they could infer two different scenarios based upon what they have experienced. Thus, it is important to be able to explain how you came to your inference.
There are 3 images that you will see. For each image, write down what you observe on the left of your page and what you infer on the right. After you have completed your observations and inferences for all 3 images, follow the directions on the last slide to write your journal entry.

Binder check (binders are preferred but alternative forms of organization are acceptable. At the end of the semester, an Honors Biology binder with all work in dividers must be turned in.)
