SYLLABUS, UNIT 7

Students, here is syllabus for the current unit, which began BEFORE Spring Break in the third week of March and will end AFTER Spring break, on the fourth week of April.   Notice that we will transition from ACIDS and BASES  (material completed in class before today, April 5th) and will be moving to ORGANIC chemistry, the study of chemical compounds based on the element CARBON.

Due to SBAC testing in block schedules on Tuesday 4/25 and Thursday 4/27, the Unit Test is being moved to Thursday, May 4th.

UNIT 6 SYLLABUS, POSTER PROJECT

Students:  We have begun Unit 6, which is concerned with thermochemistry, rates of reaction and factors (such as heat or pH) that affect those rates.   Our syllabus can be found below.   Students received a hard-copy of this in class.   They should use it as a 'checklist' to keep track of major assignments and when they are due:

As for the 'GAS LAW Poster Project':  students can either work on their own, or with a partner.  This is a major 75-point assignment, due on Monday, Feb. 27th.  Students should've already been assigned a gas law and an accompanying situation that applies that law for their poster.  The guidelines for this assignment are found below:

SYLLABUS, UNIT 5

WELCOME BACK!

Students in Mr. Hatfield's Chemistry classes should've spent the first week of the Spring 2017 semester completing a four-part packet of handouts which review math routines taught and rehearsed in the Fall semester.  

On ATLAS, this packet will display as four separate classwork assignments: Molar Mass, Two-Step Problems, Three-Step Problems and Stoichiometry 1.   Each is worth 20 points, but they are shown on the Syllabus below as a single (80-point) assignment:

Students should've also begun answering the Section Assessment Questions from Chapter 13, and beginning on Tuesday of the second week, begun to absorb new material on kinetic molecular theory and gas laws.

VIDEO: LIMITING REACTANTS

Students, here is the video shown in class, in which Paul Andersen demonstrates limiting reactant and percent yield problems:




The worksheet based on this video is available as a PDF file HERE.

UNIT 4 SYLLABUS

Students, this is the last syllabus, for the final Unit of the fall semester.   There are only 15 days of instruction remaining in the course.   Work hard.  Try everything.   Use your time wisely.

SYLLABUS, UNIT 3

Students, here is the new syllabus for Unit 3:

Please note that this unit began more than a week ago. We spent most of last week simply rehearsing (MANY times!) how to calculate the molar mass of a compound, and how to convert from moles to grams, or from moles to particles.  

Your first homework assignment on moles and stoichiometry was given in class on Friday!  This is challenging material, you need to do it right away.  Don't FALL BEHIND.

SYLLABUS UNIT 2

Here is the syllabus for Unit 2, which began on the 14th.   Students who struggled on their first test can raise their test scores by making better choices, as outlined in the earlier post about 'COPING' with Mr. Hatfield's tests.

The syllabus:

UNIT 1 SYLLABUS

It is Mr. Hatfield's custom to provide a SYLLABUS for each unit of the course, and to give students hard copies that are three-hole-punched, but to also make this items available on-line for students and parents alike:
