Homework:
I send folders to students with all notes, power points, activities, review materials, etc for them to store in a folder.  I will share these until the end of the semester.  They should download any information they want to keep after that point.

Resources:

Below is a word document of websites you can get help, extra practice, further assistance, and games to play.  This document includes a website for EVERY topic we cover.  The list is in order of the topics we cover in the semester.  There is even ACT PRACTICE information!

Safety rules for chemistry.

Additional information and help is also found on my google classroom page (link and code listed at the top).

Folders and Portfolios

Students are required to maintain a "portfolio" which is a folder (kept in class) of all of the notes, work/sheets, quizzes, lab,  projects, etc.  They may pick up the folder from class at any time;  they just keep it in my room in order to keep a clean notebook and backpack.  Students will keep these at the end of the semester in order to use when they enter the college chemistry course.  

I share with all students copies of the folders I make for chemistry with all notes, worksheets, power points, etc students need for class by google drive.  I also share class announcements and homework through google classroom.  If you have questions, please contact me-I would be glad to help you with this.

Chemistry:  A Global Connection

www.rsc.org/careers/future/career-options

Chemists are not just wearing white lab coats anymore.  There are so many career options both in the lab room and out of the lab room.  There are probably some jobs that will be created in chemistry in order to solve global challenges of health, energy, agriculture, and the environment.
