Engage in Interactive Physics Classes with challenging preparation and a variety of teaching approaches to suit your learning style.

The tutor and student reviewed concepts of atomic structure, specifically focusing on isotopes, atomic number, and mass number. They practiced identifying isotopes, calculating subatomic particles, and determining isotopic notation. The session concluded with an introduction to calculating average atomic mass using isotopic abundance and natural percentages, with plans for further practice.

The session introduced the student to fundamental concepts in chemistry, including atomic structure, electron configuration, the periodic table, and chemical bonding. The student learned about the octet rule and how it explains the formation of ions and different types of chemical bonds (ionic and covalent). There was no specific homework assigned, but the student is expected to retain the concepts learned.

The Student and Tutor reviewed nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, and the band of stability graph. The student practiced balancing nuclear equations for fission, fusion, alpha, and beta decay and identifying real-world applications. No specific homework was assigned, but the student is expected to review the concepts covered.

The Student and Tutor worked on factoring quadratic equations, completing the square to convert to vertex form, converting from vertex to standard form, and writing equations for parabolas from their graphs. The student practiced various problems and received guidance on understanding the underlying concepts and formulas. The session focused on reinforcing these skills in preparation for an upcoming test.

The Student and Tutor reviewed transcription, translation, and the roles of mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes in protein synthesis. The Student practiced answering AP Biology multiple-choice questions related to genetics and molecular biology, focusing on interpreting graphs and applying concepts to practical scenarios. The Tutor sent additional practice questions for further study.

The Student and Tutor reviewed equilibrium constant calculations and practiced setting up and solving ICE table problems. They worked through several example problems involving different equilibrium scenarios, including reactions with given initial concentrations and changes. The session concluded with plans to continue working on equilibrium problems next week.
