questions at the end of the chapter numbers 1-54, 56-57, 61-67, and 70-74. This winter break
assignment will be worth 10 regular homework assignments, or 100 points. You will basically be doing
nuclear chemistry on your own. After break I will allow two days for you to ask any questions you have
about these questions/problems. If you decide to do the assignment early and get it done before winter
break, you can get help any 9th period or after 9th period after school, I will be here most days until 5 PM
at least. I recommend that you try some of the half-life problems and nuclear equations before break,
those are the two things that some students struggle with from this chapter. The assignment will be
due Friday January 4th 2013 at the beginning of your class period. Do this assignment on loose leaf
paper as I will not be able to get it graded overnight. Do not do it in your even day notebooks- do it on
separate paper. Do each practice set, and section review on a separate sheet of loose leaf, with the
page number included in the heading. LATE WORK WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CREDIT.
Monday Dec. 22nd: Work on your nuclear assignment.
Tuesday Dec. 23rd: Work on your nuclear assignment.
