Al
Aluminium or aluminum is a silvery white member of the boron group of
chemical elements. It has the symbol Al, and its atomic number is 13. It is not
soluble in water under normal circumstances. Aluminium is the third most
abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal, in the
Earth's crust. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface.
Aluminium metal is too reactive chemically to occur natively. Instead, it is found
combined in over 270 different minerals. The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite.
Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist
corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural components made
from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are
important in other areas of transportation and structural materials. The most
useful compounds of aluminium, at least on a weight basis, are the oxides and
sulfates.
Despite its prevalence in the environment, aluminium salts are not known to be
used by any form of life. However, aluminum is well tolerated by plants and
animals. Because of its prevalence, potential biological roles, beneficial and
otherwise, for aluminium compounds are of great interest to scientists and
engineers.

C. Tutoring 2
Tutoring Do you have a student in need of a tutor? Tell your students to stop by the "Think Tank" and get matched with an NHS tutor who can help out with any academic subject they need. We need your help in directing the students who you notice are are in need of support.
The Think Tank is located in the conference room across from the counseling office. We have approximately 10 tutors there every morning just waiting for students to drop in and ask for help. Andy Grimm has set up Football Booster's parent volunteers to help manage the Think Tank. The parent helps match the tutor to a student's academic area of interested and then they head to the library to begin working. The Think Tank is open M­F from 7:35­8:30 AM. If your student(s) need after school tutoring, they can visit the tutoring link on the BHS Student Tab. 3

Mystery Question
As we embark on our new unit of study, states of matter, consider the two following questions. Talk to your partner for three minutes about these and on a new piece of notebook paper titled "States of Matter Notes"
Why doesn't the Puget Sound warm up like the air and land does during the summer?
How is it possible that swimming in 55 degree Fahrenheit water is deadly, but running in a tank top at 55 degrees Fahrenheit wouldn't be a problem?
