Chemblog!

Since we did not get to many questions today, ALL classes may have until FRIDAY to hand in the January 2005 exam. This way, we can do some more questions in class tomorrow. Today, ALMOST NOBODY came to class with specific questions prepared. If that EVER happens again, you will immediately be given a 100 point written-response test and that is how we will prepare for the Regents. It doesn't take much effort to look over a test and see what you do NOT know thoroughly and easily.
You will have TWO Regents exams assigned over the extended weekend...details forthcoming.
Your final test for the course is coming on the next double-period day. It will be a Regents-style exam that you will have the two periods to take, without a break. For D Period, that test is on Tuesday, Day 7; E Period on Wednesday, Day 1; G Period, Friday, Day 3. If you are putting in the effort on these past Regents exams, thoroughly researching what you do not remember and correcting your errors, you will do well on the final because the questions will be similar to what we have covered.

Regents: we did substitution, addition, and combustion organic reaction types. Tomorrow, we will finish those reaction types and then we will begin our nuclear unit. Bring in the January 2005 Regents and be ready to draw out complete answers to the questions that we cover.

Honors: G- we did substitution, addition, fermentation, and combustion organic reaction types.
D- we did substitution, addition, and combustion organic reaction types as well as tie up some loose ends regarding electrolytic cells and acids/bases.
We just began some Jan '05 Review so be ready with questions on that tomorrow after we do the remaining organic reaction types.
