Finally, a message to parents:
Chemistry is a difficult course.We cover 18 chapters of the textbook in one semester!To be successful in this class, students should be working on something in chemistry every night:reading the chapter, completing chapter worksheets, going over notes from today’s lecture, working problems at the end of the chapter, writing lab reports, studying for a test or quiz, or working on a major project.Parents, if your child is NOT doing chemistry for 2 or 3 days in a row, they will quickly get behind!
Our Textbook This is the website from our textbook's publisher. It is AWESOME!! You can make flashcards for vocabulary, take 3 quizzes for each chapter, see video and animation to help you understand, and see and hear our book--page by page--on line. See me for an access code to be able to get to the online book. Everything else is accessible without it! ENJOY!!
