For the last few chapters in our text, we have been studying atomic theory and structure and how it has evolved with the development of new technology and different ideas.
For this post, I want you to investigate how the study of atomic theory and structure has been applied to different areas of research or careers. How can the study of something so small be applied to many different areas of research or careers? In your investigation answer the following questions: How does atomic theory or structure relate to this research or career? Does the research or career look at an atom, parts of an atom, or several atoms? If it is a career (profession), why is this job important? What is the purpose of the research or career? How is the research or career interesting to you?
The post is due by Monday, October 15 @ Midnight. Do not wait until the last minute to post. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Have Fun!

Fall 2012 First Posting
Again, welcome to Coach Funt's chemistry blog. First, we need to setup a google account so that you can post on the blog. Once your account is setup, you can visit Coach Funt's Chemistry blog. The blog postings from last year are available, and you can look at those if you like.
For this posting, you are going to research a substance or mixture and analyze how scientists are using the substance or mixture. Pick a substance/mixture that you are interested in researching. Many substances/mixtures are used in food, cosmetics, hunting and fishing needs, medicine, etc. Answer these questions: What is the substance or mixture? What is its chemical formula? How is the substance or mixture used? Why is it used compared to a different substance/mixture? What physical and chemical properties does the substance/mixture exhibit? What physical and chemical changes can the substance/mixture go through?
The posting is due by Sunday, September 16th @ Midnight. Next Monday, we will share our postings in class. On edline, the rubric for the blog postings is available under the "contents". The blog will count as a quiz grade.
