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!! :-)
