Chemblog!

AP: we hit the ground sprinting this week and, judging from the in-class performance, we are off to a very good start. Our first exam is Monday, Day 6, of course. The exam begins at 7:30 AM and should run until 9:00 AM (if you need ten minutes more, that's okay). The exam covers the summer assignment: the College Board objectives from the first three chapters as well as the assigned Regents and the organic chemistry worksheets. After the exam, you may take a break and then we will do a qualitative analysis lab that relies on your knowledge of solubility rules.

Regents and Honors: we will finish the "Matter and Energy" unit by Tuesday and have a unit exam by next Friday. There are worksheets, videos, and powerpoints on the class website. Do the worksheets and view the videos and powerpoints; email me if you have questions or have questions ready for class on Monday. By next Friday, make sure that you understand the answers to all of the homework and worksheet questions. If you do not, you should come to extra help.

Honors will also have an elements/element symbols quiz on Tuesday on the elements of the first 4 Periods, that is, elements 1 through 36 (Hydrogen through Krypton); the quiz will have the same format as the quiz from last Tuesday.

Have a good and restful weekend.
Mr. Cicale
