Honors chem wants to know: why can Jules drink water just fine in the first pic, but not the second? We used our handy dandy whiteboards to find out!!

Does it hurt my arm to fill this out every day? A bit, sure. But students need a clear road to show what they’re doing, WHY they’re doing it, and when they can check their understanding. Plus - think of how strong I’m getting!!

AP Chem wrote their own procedure for the first time this year. They had to use their knowledge of chemical properties and bonding to determine the identity of 10 unknowns, and they were all successful!!

2-3 stepped up their Friday breakfast game by making french toast for all the AP chem students today, it was DELICIOUS! Can you believe they plan this all on their own?

More white boarding in honors chem today! #modelingchemistry #showwhatyouknow

AP Chemistry determining the molar volume of a gas experimentally

Honors chem taking on a brand new lab this year! We’re looking at how temperature changes as wax cools. Some thermometers got “stuck” i the middle of cooling…guess that’s first on our list to discuss tomorrow

AP Chem used chromatography to separate the different dyes in food coloring

AP Chem using just the color of a flame test, the speed of light, and Planck’s constant to determine the identity of an unknown cation

Happy OBHS Halloween from the science department! #obhsscience #halloween OlentangyBerlinBears

A spontaneous choice day yesterday after some students weren’t happy with their unit 3 tests. Some students chose to correct their tests. Some chose to start the lab to gather data for us to use tomorrow. Every student got something they needed #studentagency #voiceandchoice

Just another day of honors chemistry ROCKING their quizzes through collaboration and reteaching each other tough concepts

I’ll never stop being amazed watching my chemistry students develop real science in real time with just whiteboards and a few expo markers🤯 #modelingchemistry #letthemdothescience

2-3 AP Chem is rocking some serious pride today #allin #leaderslead

Feeling the spirit for “blue carpet” day #obhsscience #spiritweek #berlinpride

2-3 AP Chem in the ✨HOLLYWOOD✨spirit
