New homework is ready

Jill Bundy

Students,

Your new homework is posted.  There’s no homework on Labor Day.  Yay!

Y’all are getting the hang of these lab reports, so that’s fantastic.  I will see you again next week for another burner lab; be sure you are dressed appropriately.  We will also spend a good amount of time going over more Calorimetry. 🙂

See you next time! jb

HW due August 28 is posted

Jill Bundy

Students,

Your new homework is posted.  Note that there is a test Friday.  The test is linked to the Homework page. Please print it and the Answer Sheet before you take your test.  Your final answers go on the Answer Sheet.  You must also turn in your work on a piece of notebook paper.  NO work = NO credit.  Show your work, please, and turn your test in next Thursday.  Remember that there is also a quiz next week.

For the Postlab, re-read the Lab Report Format on the Homework page.  Remember that you also need to complete calculations for the stations you visited in class as part of your Postlab.  I will look at these next week.

As always, feel free to call or email with any questions!  jb

Reminders…

Jill Bundy

Hi Students,

I find that usually everyone knows how to print the Assignment Sheets and complete the problems for the second week of homework.  However, here are a few reminders of things students commonly forget for the second class:

  • PLEASE re-read and follow carefully the Lab Report Format posted to the Homework page (4th bullet point) as you complete your Prelabs in your lab notebook this week.  We went over this in class, but please look back at it as you work.  Don’t forget to copy the blank table (using a ruler) into your lab notebook, too.  Use blue or black ink.
  • Remember to punch holes in your Lab Safety Contract and Syllabus, and place them as the first two items in your binder.  I will check all of them this week.  No signed contract = no lab participation = zero for lab this week.
  • Dress appropriately… get used to covering your feet and legs.  Not dressed appropriately =  no lab participation = zero for lab this week.
  • Study the flashcards on Engrade.  These are the conversions the quiz will cover on Aug 28.
  • Don’t forget your signed Assignment Sheet.  This is your homework grade!

See you Thursday!  jb

Parent Meeting, Enrichment

Jill Bundy

Parents-

The Parent Meeting for all chemistry classes will take place August 14, 2014 (first day of class) @ 3- 3:30 PM.  Please make every effort to attend if you are new to my chemistry classes.

For any students who are ready to get those math juices flowing, start on this assignment here.  Also, this video on dimensional analysis (or any of them on that page) will be helpful with the first chapter of the book.  Units act like variables!  Who knew!?

Be sure to login in first or create an account on Khan.  Also, remember that the first class assignment is posted on the homework page.

See you soon!

One more reminder…

Jill Bundy

Just to remind you one more time:

1- the Final Exam will be given in class this week.
2- You will need a pencil and calculator (please clear the memory, or you will have to use my calc.)
3- I can not let you go early, so plan to stay for the entire class period. You can bring a snack to share (no peanuts, please).

I’ll see you one last time Thursday! JB

Class #28

Jill Bundy

Students,

Please remember that at the end of class this week, we will review for the exam.  Please print and bring your old tests and calculators with you. (Remember that bringing your calculator is part of your grade, too.  Some of you have slacked in this area the last 3-4 weeks.)  The review will not help you if you aren’t prepared with these items.

Also, your last week of homework is posted.  Don’t cry, it will be ok… I’m sure you will find something else valuable to do with your time after May 1. 🙂

See you Thursday!  jb
