Vacation Assignments
Our short-awaited vacation is here!! Good times. This year is flying by and we will return strong in '07.Naturally, we have some hw over the vacation: reinforcement material for Regents and Honors so that you can recall what you already know; some new and some review material for AP.
Regents and Honors classes : From our class webpage, download each "learning module" powerpoint (you must email me if you have any trouble doing so), read the lessons, then write the questions and answer the questions BEFORE you look at the answers as you go through the powerpoints. Show any necessary work (reasoning or calculation) that you did to get your answer. It's fine (no points off) if you initially get the problem wrong. You can just put a line through your original answer and then write in the correction. Don't cheat yourself out of doing this properly; you need to master this material for the Regents exam so that you can ace that test. Also, you will see some of these questions on upcoming exams. Label (by module title) and organize your papers before you hand them in. The assignment MUST be done NEATLY, CLEARLY, and (ultimately) ACCURATELY; your grade will be based on those criteria.
Over the long break, I will also be posting some general review powerpoints, question and answer sets, and even some PODCASTS that I found that coincide with our textbook. That's just in case you need or want some more review. Update: The podcasts are posted. They were created by an upstate Chem teacher; the podcasts are from 8 to 25 minutes long, depending on the unit or section. The podcast numbers coincide with the Chapters and Sections of our textbook. Why not download these to your "iPod" and listen to them on your way to and from Grandma's house? Why not listen to them with Grandmama?
AP: It's all you for Chapters 11 and 12. Don't hesitate to email me if you have a question on how to do something but make sure that you first have read the text/study guides and looked at/solved the sample questions.
Later, I will post some more solved problems which will be categorized by question type and I will post a link or two to help guide you.
