You’re almost halfway!

Students,

Can you believe it?  You’ve almost made it halfway through chemistry?  Here are a few reminders about the end of the semester:

  • Our last class is this week, December 1.
  • We will have a usual class with lecture and lab.
  • Please feel free but not obligated to bring a snack to share as we finish Chapter 8. (No nuts!)
  • Bring a coat this week as we will go outside for a few minutes to have our lab demonstration.
  • Your final grades will be posted by December 8.
  • Those with 1, 2, or 3 absences will receive a notice by December 8.  Remember that you can only miss 3 classes and still receive your lab credit.
  • We meet again on January 5, 2017.

I wish you a very restful and Merry Christmas! jb

Do not forget to bring your Balancing Equations worksheet you printed and completed at home this week to class Thursday.  Also, be sure to dress appropriately for lab.  See you in a couple of days! jb

Oct 27 homework is posted

Students, 

Welcome back from fall break! Your new homework is posted. Be sure to practice, practice balancing equations.  

A question came up in class today- is hydrogen diatomic?  Yes, it is!  If you don’t have it marked on your periodic table, please mark it.  

See you next week! jb

Flame Test Postlab

Students- Don’t forget to include the six words/phrases below from the board last week in your Postlab due Thursday (along with reading p84).  If you don’t know what something means, use the Google machine or your textbook’s glossary.  Be sure you identify your two unknowns in the paragraph as well.

See you soon!  jb

Nice job with the flame tests today.  I think you are getting the hang of things. New homework is posted.

Please remember that I highly recommend that you take the time to do the Chapter 3 book test before taking my test :). The lab is linked to the homework page again this week.

Enjoy your weekend… Fall Break will be here before you know it!  jb

Have a good week! jb
