Welcome to Chemistry!
(This is the lab-based, full year chemistry course that most four year colleges and universities will expect to see on your transcript. )
Daily attendance in this class is CRUCIAL to build skills and understanding, but there are lots of resources to support you!
Daily Agendas
Unit 2 (Oct) The Magic of the MOLE
Unit 3 (Nov-Dec) Thermochemistry
Unit 4 (Jan) Gas Laws
Unit 5 (Feb) Molarity / concentration of solutions and Reaction Rate / catalysts
Unit 6 (March) Equilibrium and Solubility
Unit 7 (April) Acids & Bases
Unit 8 (Post Exhibition - June) Nuclear Reactions and Applications
Resources Folder: All of the class resources are available in public google folders. Because this is the first time in over a decade that Ms Armour is teaching this course, there are not many additional resources available yet.
Competencies and Rubrics: All of the course competencies and rubrics. You earn credit when you demonstrate mastery of each of the competencies.
Syllabus: Outlines the course expectations and class norms, including the expected major assessments for each competency. Remember - YOU can propose alternate means of assessment! Work with your teacher!
Course-At-A-Glance: Links to the unit plans and daily agendas, with the approximate timeframes in the course. The Daily Agenda gives you the specifics of what we work on each day, with the most relevant resource materials linked right on the doc. If you have to miss class, you should use the daily agenda to try to keep pace until you can touch base with peers and the teacher. While the unit plans are (will be) written for educators, they will be publicly available.
