CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is a course designed for students with the basic knowledge of physical science and algebra. The goal of this class is to build on that knowledge and to cultivate scientific literacy so that the students gain curiosity about, understanding of, and the ability to question, evaluate, and use information in the modern world. Today’s generations have the means to be informed and skillful in making decisions in their society and are thus increasingly responsible for the future of this planet.
Content includes: scientific inquiry and reflection, social implications of the scientific process, matter and change, atomic structure, compounds, reactions and energy, states of matter, carbon chemistry, problem-solving, experimental design/scientific process, scientific tools and measurements, data analysis, working out and evaluating of conclusions based on scientific evidence.

Week of 3/30/20 - 4/3/20 last week of quarter 3. Assignments and report cards due before the end of the week.
- Monday: Check over your grade in my class. Make sure I caught all the assignments you sent me. Please tell me if I missed anything! No BWs this week.
- Tuesday-Thursday: Choose one or more (if you need to raise your grade) of the following assignments.
Listen to the lead poisoning episode of the "This Podcast Will Kill You" or the aspirin episode and take notes. A page of notes = one assignment.
For extra-credit, check out the following Instagram accounts and tell me what you learn: med.base , iss , its_about_chemistry , beautifulwithbrainsofficial , namib_naude , pawsitivechangeprogram , science.feed , rocketrundown , joelsartore , shazzjung , jam_and_germs , yorkshire.fossils
- Friday: go back and check over to make sure you've done all the requirements for the past 3 weeks before your report card comes in. Talk to me immediately if something isn't right.
Week of 3/23/20 - 3/27/20 last week
- Monday: Check over your grade in my class. Make sure I caught all the assignments you sent me. Please tell me if I missed anything! Begin BWs.
- Tuesday - Thursday: Choose one or more (if you're trying to raise your grade) of the following assignments:
Watch this quick video about alchemy. Tell me how alchemy relates to your class right now.
Check out this page describing the basic gas laws. I know you know most of them already, but read about how scientists actually discovered them. When done, go to the quiz page and see what you get. When you get a good score, take a picture and send it my way!
Read about the neurochemistry of love here. When finished, respond in one paragraph in your own words telling me a few things you learned that may or may not relate to you. For extra-credit, find more information about any of the neurotransmitters mentioned in the article and teach me about them!
- Friday: finish all the bellworks for the week and make sure everything is turned in over on Remind or through email.
- Monday - Tuesday: scan or take a photo of all last week's assignments that didn't get turned in yet, put them all into an email (or attach), or send them through remind. Make sure to provide your name and hour. In return, I will email you an updated progress report. If you did not get to complete the pickle lab, click on this video and use the information from there to fill out the results and the conclusion. You may skip the analysis.
- Wednesday: Either print this worksheet, or solve it on a separate sheet of paper. The idea gas law is PV=nRT. Instructions on how to use it are here. The answers are provided, but scan or take photos and send me your work for a grade! Alternatively, if you tried the worksheet but need to get away from formulas for a day, go to this virtual lab, play with as many parameters as you can, and tell me how 5 things you did affected the particles.
- Thursday: Watch this Mythbusters video, then type or write the breakdown of the scientific experiment: what is the background before the experiment? What are the independent and the dependent variables? What are the results, and what is the conclusion? Send me the typed or scanned answers for an assignment!
- Friday: Read through my slides for this week (3/16-3/20), take good notes, don't forget the practice. Type, scan, or take photos of all your bellworks for this week, turn them all in.
Semester 2 Bellworks for all classes. Find any date you need to see some of the notes, the day's assignments, and due dates.
