| Announcements -- Updated on April 06 2011 | | Grades through Exam2 are -- here A new policy (this was apparently not clear before). The conditions during a drill quiz are to be exactly like an exam in terms of access to calculator, appendices of the textbook, pencils, and erasers. The only exception is that on a quiz problem designated as "Work Together," you may quietly discuss the solution of the problem at your table only. Of course the work you submit for this problem must still be your own - i.e. the entire group should not be writing exactly the same thing down. We will be starting to check each table group's papers to ensure rote copying is not occurring. On an exam you are not allowed to access computers, your cell phone, a PDA, a tablet or any other connected device. The same is true of the drill quizzes. If we observe any instance of texting, surfing, emailing, or in any way viewing a "connected" devi ce during the quizzes, 0% credit will be given. Henry will be letting me know if this infraction occurs. You should note that any infraction that occurs during these quizzes will be an act of academic dishonesty and may be reported to The Office of Student Conduct. |

I looked for some good references on ice after class - here are two:
Andrew Fortes' web-page - he is an ice researcher
Wikipedia Entry on Ice
So there is Ice IV, IX, and all the way up to XIV. These are mostly just different crystalline forms. Some need to be made very, very carefully. Note to get some forms the plot on Mr. Fortes' page shows a pressure as high as 1 TeraPascal (TPa). By the way if you click on Ice IX on the wikipedia page it is not indeed the same as in Kurt Vonnegut's book the Cat's Cradle.

There is a nice resource available at the University of Alabama: Excel add-in steam tables, and other stuff as well. See the link below. These tables in this form will be very helpful for your project.
