Class Page - Chemistry Sem 1

The following information applied to RUSD's EOC class in Chemistry.  

Semester 1                                                                 Chemistry Semester 2

 Unit 1.  Introduction to Chemistry

This site is worth a visit just for this image.

It is called "Boomerina" and I just hope it refers

to the instructor's name.  His powerpoints or

slides have references to history and art.

Crashcourse - A discussion of Lavoisier.  Did he lose his head over chemistry?  Also, conservation of mass.

Unit 2.  Scientific Measurement

AX6 - Octahedral

Critical Thinking:  Is she a witch? (Monty Python and the Holy Grail).

Tyler Dewitt - Scientific Notation

Scientific Notation Practice Problems

 Significant Figures

Dimensional Analysis (or Factor-Label Method) 

Unit 3.  Atomic Structure and Electrons in Atoms  

(atomos = uncuttable)

What does this have to do with science?  In times when science

is being challenged, perhaps we should look at life prior to "The Enlightenment."  Does scientific thought make the world a better place?  Does it affect laws, reasoning, and the way we make decisions?  Good for discussion board topic on relationship between science and society.
