Welcome to Chemistry!

This blog was started back in August 2010 with the beginning of the school year. Since we just started a new semester and I have three new classes, I would like to say "welcome" to all of my new students.

Here's a brief summary of what we have done so far...

On Monday I handed out the syllabus, (which can be found here.)

I also talked about some math concepts that we use in chemistry. That particular packet entitled "Math Concepts Used in Chemistry" can be found here.

The other handout that was given out on Monday was entitled Student Safety Contract, and it can be found here.

The homework from the 1st day was to do the following:
     Get the syllabus signed, which acknowledges that the student has read the classroom rules and safety rules.

On Tuesday (today) we talked a lot about math. We went over a packet of practice problems that covered the topics of Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis, which can be found here.

The PowerPoint file that goes with this packet can be found here.

The homework for today is to do the following:
     Do a "Lab Safety Quiz" (open notes)
     Get a calculator (if you haven't already gotten one yet!)
     Study for the "Math Assessment," which will be given to you tomorrow.
