PT quiz

Listen, I recognize that I am totally phoning it in on this blog post, but it is early November, which is the toughest part of the school year.  I am tired and it's dark outside most of the day.  It's about now that Natan and I start thinking of all of the magical and fun things we can do in the summer!  It is the only way to making the teaching life work, I tell you!  Imagine having to plan 3 birthday parties, with supplies, games and a detailed plan every single day, in addition to hosting said birthday parties for 5 hours every day.  That's kind of what the job is like, but missing the grading and lab prep.  It is insane.  So today, in honor of exhaustion, I give you this: some questions about the periodic table from a recent chem quiz.
