Wednesday 1.4.11

Happy New Year to everyone!  :-)

General Chemistry:  Congratulations on finding the blogpage!!  Please check out all this site has to offer and let me know if you think it needs something or you find something not working right.  Today we handed out materials and discussed the first 12 pages of your class binders.  You have a short homework assignment to discuss any background info you wish to tell me along with 3 goals you have for yourself, 2 requests of your classmates, and 1 request of me.  These will be collected at the beginning of class.  Tomorrow will be Safety and Lab Orientation; Friday will include a safety quiz along with a math review. You have several things due MONDAY:  Signed syllabus (p. 7), Parent Form (p. 11-12), supplies (like a calculator, paper, and either paper towels, kleenex, glue, or notecards), and the safety contract (assigned tomorrow).  Stay on top of things as we go swinging into the term!

AP Chemistry:  Off we go... this term will include Bonding (Chapters 9 & 10 in your textbook) starting tomorrow, then Solutions / Colligative Properties (Chapter 14), finally Equilibrium (Chapters 16, 17, and 18).  Plan on labs every Thursday from here on out except for 1.5.11 and 2 quizzes every Friday (one MMQ and one topic quiz).  Term 4 will include the topics of Kinetics (Chapter 15), Thermodynamics (Chapters 6 & 19), and Electrochemistry (Chapter 20).  Hang on!!  :-)
