Today in the classroom:
First year chem will make their own pH scale. They'll convert between H+ molarity and pH for various substances and plot them on an 80 cm piece of receipt paper. They'll then add some color and artistic spice.
Second year is still slogging thermodynamics. I don't love this unit...I don't have great labs for it. We'll do my petri dish battery lab or calorimetry to break it up a little, but I need to update my procedures and analysis.
