| Description | This is intended to be a very serious, full year, high school chemistry class. If students wish to join in the fall who have not been part of the spring Easy chemistry, it will be quite possible with a little reading and work over the summer. Consult with me as to what is needed. We will do lecture, homework problems, light lab experiments, and teacher demonstrations. Regular attendance/homework is crucial to success in this course. We will also attempt to schedule a couple of mutually agreeable lab days during Voyagers break time. If students are interested in studying for the SAT subject test or AP test, I will be willing to hold some extra study sessions after the end of the spring term * Don't bother to take this class if you won't commit to doing at least some of the homework every week. It's not worth your time or mine. *** |
