Hormones
You will need to load chime on your computer to play with virtual insulin.
You will see by right click and putting it in "Scuplt Mode" that the molecule is a giant key.
If you press one atom it causes the others to change shape.

Homework
Spelling Test
General knowledge Test on the number of Groups and Periods of the Periodic Table. You will be asked to sketch the periodic table, an select which group of elements have similar properties or belong to the same group

Groups in the Periodic Tables
In this computer lesson your Photos where placed on the periodic table and you worked in groups linked with the column or family of elements with which you were placed.
Your powerpoints will be made into an interactive web page posted on the school intranet.
Marks can only be awarded to powerpoint saved in your homedrive under the name "Elements".
Fridays lesson, we review some groups and look at the adventure stories of some famous elements.
Neils Bohr outwitted the Nazis by turning his Gold Nobel Prize into atoms, and then back into a lump of gold again.
We will look at how some 760 British service men perished in the Falklands war when their Al boat literally went up in a puff of smoke.
We will make Chlorine gas that was used in the WW1 Trenches.

Atom Songs
MNR machines see atoms inside you. You are made completely from 80 elements.
These are the Lyrics to "I love my magnet". Download the song to your ipod. ATP is a phosphorous molecule which powers the billions of tiny feet on every muscle fibre in your body.
The next song by this scientist talks about his favourite atom.
This is a good video of an AFM. Microscope film of DNA. DNA is a string of atoms that contains the "computer code" to build you. Now we can see individual atoms scientist are now seeing how germs move.

About Me
- drhill
- I come from a Science family: My father Geoffrey Hill was Australia's first computer programmer on CSIRAC the fourth computer in the world. He is credited with invention of Computer music and the development of “Interprogram” a language before Basic. My PhD is in Atomic and Molecular Physics. I have researched the activated oxygen layer above the ozone layer, and 'Assigned' the world's smallest molecule. At the University of Toronto I researched high power UV lasers. I have specialized in automation in fibre optics. This developed into research in Machine Intellect and Robots. I have enjoyed work as an Explainer with Questacon and my time as a part-time soldier. I currently teach High School Science at Epping Boys’ High.
