Chemistry and floral litmus solutions


Monday opened with an introduction to the periodic table including why atomic mass has a decimal value.

On into orbitals.

Bonding on Wednesday.

Attempted 3d orbitals.


Wrap up on Wednesday 

Thursday morning 

Morning selfie 

Board setup

Collecting flowers the evening before was forgotten. Orchids saved the day. The pink hibiscus from along the driveway did not work. A mix of red and orange hibiscus blossoms also worked well (still in the bag).

Limes were forgotten. Mistakes were made. I was fortunate that I had the lime juice from last term.

The pink hibiscus rosa-sinensus from along the road didn't work.


Table three setup 

Kapualani, Emylia, and Mirabella tests unknowns.


Kapualani records results.

Fumie-Kate recording household substances.


Emylia adds floral litmus solution to a test tube


Sucie and Sheral setting up test tubes.

Sucie testing unknowns.

Mirabella and Emylia going over their results.


Delailah testing household substances.

Delailah adding an unknown to a test tube. The 3-in-1 coffee was one of the unknown substances. The coffee turns pink briefly before the coffee dissolves and changes the color to a muddy brown. 


Shawn Dee and Mirabella


Board at 8:00 end.

Thanksgiving lunch.


Including ice cream!

Nakisha and Sinae set up their test tubes


Che'chemely and Sonya test unknowns as Jemara and Dantez look on.

Nakisha, Sinae, Darla, Brian, Morgianna, Joann.


Che'chemely and Sonya record a result. 


Dantez testing the unknowns, Jemara recording results. Che'hemely and Sonya doing the same.


Jemara and Dantez wrapping up. 


Denny-Ray recording results, Joanna testing a household substance.




The color changed to green: a base. Angelica was recording results. 


Brian checking with his partner on which ones are done.


Angelica.

Che'chemely and Sonya testing an unknown.

Board at the end of the 11:00 section.

Plotting polar coordinates in Desmos and a vector addition demonstrator

Image
In an earlier post I noted that Desmos did not directly plot polar coordinates. Not only was I incorrect, but Desmos responded to my blog to correct me! Although I had at some point seen that one could define a function f(x)=3x+5 and then have Desmos calculate f(6), I had not absorbed how this might be used to plot polar coordinates. The above works beautifully . Realizing that I could effectively program Desmos, I applied this thinking to demonstrating how to add two vectors when given the magnitudes m and the direction angles theta. The graph calculates the i and j components for the two vectors and then adds the vectors, graphically displaying the result while also providing information on the magnitude and direction of the vector sum. m1 and theta1 are the magnitude and direction angle for one of the two vectors, m2 and theta2 are the magnitude and direction for the other vector. All four are dynamically interactive and can be changed. The diagram purports to illustra...

Setting up a boxplot chart in Google Sheets with multiple boxplots on a single chart

Image
The  Google Statistics  add-on for Google Sheets can display multiple boxplots in a single chart. The key is the layout of the data. One column should be the variable by which the data is to be grouped, the other column should be the data to be box plotted. Set up the Statistics add-on with the data to be plotted as the variable, and the grouping column as the "by" variable. In this image I had deselected all but the boxplot option, the result was the appearance of the Moment, Standard errors, and Confidence intervals options. The default is apparently a 95% confidence interval for the mean. The result is multiple boxplots on a single chart with a common scale. The new tab that is created also quotes 95% confidence intervals for the mean. Note that as of 2018 the Google Statistics add-on cannot be found by search in the add-ons. In addition, as of May 2018 the add-on no longer verifies, possibly due to the add-on not having been updated since August 2017. One may ha...

Traditional food dishes of Micronesia

Image
Clara, Jennette, and Joanie presented ground hard taro cooked in an umw, effectively a hot rock oven. Pohnpeian: rotama. Pingelapese: sero. Mwoakillese: rodma. Mortlockese: Amahd. Kosrae: rodoma. After cooking in an umw the rotama is pounded with the petiole of a palm frond. Rotama is made from hard or swamp taro, known as mwahng on Pohnpei, mweian on Pingalap, pula in Mortlockese, and pahsruhk on Kosrae. In traditional times on the outer islands the women had primary responsibility for tending the taro while the men handled fishing and climbing tasks. Joesen and Noeleen presented fermented breadfruit from the outer islands of Yap such as Woleai and Eauripik. The raw ingredients were actually brought in from Yap, Noeleen prepared the maare.  The leaf wrap is ti leaf - Cordyline fruticosa. Pauleen, Barnson, Trisha, Verginia, Con-ray, and Maylanda from Kitti, Pohnpei brought in mahi umw, koahpnoair koakihr, and uht sukusuk. Above is breadfruit umw, mahi umw, o...
