  3. Topics of Study • Chpt 1: Matter & Measurements -- done • Chpt 2 & 21 : Atoms, Ions & Molecules -- done • Chpt 2 & 7: The Periodic Table -- done • Chpt 2: Nomenclature -- done • Chpt 3: Stoichiometry -- done • Chpt 4 & 20: Chem Reactions in Aqueous Solns – done • Chpt 6: Electron Structures of Atoms – started today • Chpt 8 & 9: Bonding • Chpt 5: Energy & Thermochemistry • Chpt 19: Thermodynamics • Chpt 10: The Gas Laws • Chpt 11: Liquids & Solids • Chpt 13: Properties of Solutions • Chpt 14: Kinetics • Chpt 15: Equilibrium • Chpt 16: Acid/Base Equilibria • Chpt 17: Additional Aspects of Aqueous Equilibria • Chpt 20: Electrochemistry

  4. Class ScheduleBasic Overview -- Some sections take more time than others. • Day 1(7): (Previous chapter test) Hand out chapter notes, homework problem sets & formal problem assignments • Day 2: Go over 1st section of notes • Day 3/4: Lab or work day • Day 5: Problem set #1 due – Formal Presentation of Problems • Day 6: Quiz, New Section Notes • Repeat Days 3-6 until all sections are done • Day 7(1): Test

  5. Absences • They should get the work they missed from me. • They need to schedule Quiz and Test make-ups with me. During study halls, before school or after school.

  11. Projects • 1 Project each Marking Period • Some will be group projects, others will be individual. • 100 points each • For group projects there is a reflection piece where each student has to highlight the contributions of each member of the group

  12. Miscellaneous • Memorize Packet – Information that students will memorize through out the year. Done on an as needed basis. • Memorize Packet • Field Trips – Depends on school funds, timing, availability, etc.
