HAVE A GOOD LONG WEEKEND - NO CLASSES ON MONDAY - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
General Chemistry:
Today we graded the homework on molar mass and percent composition; some people in Block 2 would be warned that they need to have homework READY TO GO when it is due... After the grading was done, we did the weekly quiz over Structures, Ionic vs. Molecular/Covalent Compounds, Molar Masses, and Percent Composition. Next week, we tackle naming compounds and culminate the week with a district assessment on bonding.
AP Chemistry:
Today we took the weekly memorize me quiz, corrected the weekly reaction prediction sheet, graded the homework from yesterday, and discussed the bell-ringer quiz on oxidation numbers to be done on Tuesday of next week when we return. Please also have Chapter 6 (reactions) in the 5 in 5 ready to go - we will discuss the whole chapter on Tuesday. Thursday of next week will be a lab day (just fyi.)

Tuesday 10.24.11
General Chemistry:
Today we reviewed structure drawing and assigned 4 more off of the worksheet to have structures drawn for tomorrow. Block 2 did a quick flame test lab and finished the measurement lab. More bonding tomorrow with putting together binary ionic compounds.
AP Chemistry:
Almost got through all of Chapter 5 in the 5 in 5... bell-ringer quiz tomorrow over Trends and Oxidation Numbers, then we learn how to titrate (LAB DAY). Work day this week will be Thursday when I am writing curriculum at the ASC.

Monday 10.24.11
General Chemistry:
Today, we reviewed electron dot structures, discussed the difference between ionic and molecular/covalent compounds, and learned how to draw structures for both. HW was assigned (it's titled Binary Ionic and Molecular Compounds and is p. 118 for block 2 and p. 88 for block 3... it's the same page, but we numbered differently in each class!) - classify the compounds and then draw structures for the 6 indicated in class (LiBr, MgO, CI4, Pb3N2, PBr3, and SO2). This is DUE right at the beginning of class so we can go on to the next step. Block 2 - you have LAB tomorrow - bring back signed safety contracts and DRESS APPROPRIATELY!! :-)
AP Chemistry:
Today we discussed about 1/2 of the material in Chapter 5 of the 5 in 5... the rest will be tomorrow along with some prep work for a titration lab (dress appropriately!). Wednesday will be lab day this week and Thursday will be work day... Friday = quiz #2 for memorize me list items and reaction prediction #2 will be due as well. There will most likely be a quiz over Chapter 5 of the 5 in 5 on Friday, too... just to warn you. :-)

Friday (:-D) 10.14.11
Happy Friday Everyone! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! :-)
General Chemistry:
Welcome to our new class of parents and students!! I hope you find this page informative and invite you to contact me with comments on how I can make it better for all of you. :-)
Thursday we started off the new term. For Block 2, that meant acquainting ourselves with each other and getting materials. Please be aware of what I need you to get done for me by Monday (signatures from parents on a few documents, having parents fill out the parent form, getting the General Info WS done...) so we can be off and running on Monday with a quick review of material from last term and then on into bonding. For Block 3, we discussed electron dot structures and introductory bonding. For Monday, please have p. 85-87 done.
AP Chemistry:
Thursday we did a lot of 'explaining' about what would be happening this term; more explaining into Friday as well as a diagnostic test from the new 5 in 5 books. On Monday, our focus will return to the textbook where we will finish discussing Chapter 5 - Titrations. Please read AND TAKE NOTES over pp. 216-221 and be ready to cover all of this in one day. Tuesday we will discuss Chapter 5 in your new 5 in 5 books so you may want to work ahead and get that ready to go.

Tuesday-Wednesday October 11-12, 2011
Apologies to everyone for the lack of updates as life got crazy last week with my husband's kidney stone... I truly did not mean to neglect keeping everyone up to date as the term wound to a close.
General Chemistry:
Last week, we concluded our study of the periodic table by emphasizing the trends of the periodic table as well as learning how to write electron configurations (both long and short handed!). A weekly quiz on Friday followed by a review on Monday (yesterday) in preparation for the final. Students made a list of what will be covered on the final exam, which takes place on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2011 at 7:45 am (bright and early!). Part of the final will be the DCSD Assessment over the periodic table - study up!
Advanced Chemistry:
Last week we finished everything we could over Chapter 5 and took a quiz over that material on Friday. Review Monday (yesterday) was over all 5 chapters of material that will appear on the final exam. Some students in Block 2 opted to take the final during Block 4 - I am ok with that. :-) Grades on Infinite Campus should be complete with everything but the final by 3:00 today. The final is going to be worth roughly 75-80 points.
To those students who leave us Term 2, I have enjoyed having you in class. To those staying for the rest of the year in AP Chemistry - here we go!! :-)
