Hello Science/Chemistry geniuses!
Welcome to Mrs. Dowle's Science/Chemistry website. I'm always adding new links so check back on a regular basis.
Please don't be like this student. Make sure you come see me if you have any concerns before it's too late!
Here is a great website that gives you a number of flow charts on how to convert f physical quantities using SI units. These are very handy!

ARTICLES OF INTEREST:
If you have some time available on Saturdays (2012-2013), go check out the Triumf Saturday Morning Lecture Series on Frontiers of Modern Physics. The events are FREE!
I stumbled upon this site, The Poly Pages, while I was browsing through a quilting blog. Have a peek through them. Wouldn't it be fun to make a quilt using the hexiamond shapes in bright colours?! ~ a lovely marriage between quilting and mathematics. "The purpose of this site is to try to provide information on the various polyforms: poly-ominoes, -iamonds, -hexes, -cubes etc." If you are a recreational mathematician like me, check out this site.
This TED talk is "a visual journey through the Alberta Tar Sands and a discussion of the the local regional and global impacts and how we can respond." (have a box of tissue ready)
3D models of Polyhedra are fun to make. If you are interested in making some, come see me during Crafts Club (meets Mondays after school and Wednesdays at lunch).

Pendulum waves in motion - Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion.
Here's an article I just found that combines chemistry to real-life applications. Enjoy!
