FINISHING OUR YEAR STRONG! (FINAL SYLLABUS)

Students:

Mr. Hatfield wants to remind all of you that our Unit on Organic Chemistry (Unit 8) is coming to an end on Tuesday, when students will take their Unit 8 exam.  The notes for that Test have been previously shared on a blog post.

HERE IS YOUR FINAL SYLLABUS, FOR UNIT 9:

Beginning on the very next day (Wednesday, May 14th), students will embark on their final Unit of the year, on Nuclear Chemistry----and thus 'the clock will be ticking' on any unfinished work from Unit 8.  This might include:

• (2) Handouts, given in class, totaling 40 points on naming and drawing hydrocarbons and functional groups.  These will be past due on Tuesday.

• (3) Labs, totaling 60 points, on modeling hydrocarbons, assembling esters and the polymerization of 'slime'.   Students will be expected to hand in their Comp books in class on Wednesday.

• (2) Video Worksheets, totaling 40 points, on 'Monomers and Polymers' and 'Proteins and Enzymes'.   The videos these worksheets are based on have been previously shared on a blog post.

WE MUST GO ON AND FINISH THE YEAR STRONG.   The purpose of this post is to impress upon students the importance of completing their Unit 8 work on time, so that they can earn an average to above-average grade and not have to repeat Chemistry.

SYLLABUS, UNIT 8

Students, here is the Unit 8 syllabus that covers the nomenclature and properties of ionic, covalent and (especially) organic molecules:

SYLLABUS, UNIT 6: THERMOCHEMISTRY

Students: Please below find your latest Syllabus.  

This will be a short unit (only 15 instructional days), with a total of three labs,two of which will be COMBINED in one 'super two-day lab'.  

Note also that students in need of remedial support will be assigned Saturday School on Saturday, Feb. 23rd.  Failure to attend Saturday School as assigned without a parent contact will be treated as defiance.

SPRING 2019: NEW UNIT 5 SYLLABUS

WELCOME BACK!

Students in Mr. Hatfield's Chemistry classes will be spending much of the first week of the Spring 2019 semester  completing handouts which review math routines taught and rehearsed in the Fall semester.  

On ATLAS, these assignments 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.

SYLLABUS, UNIT 4: STOICHIOMETRY OF FLUIDS

Students, here is the Syllabus for the final unit of the Fall Semester:  Unit 4, 'Stoichiometry of Fluids'.  Give careful attention to the opportunities for support or extra credit!

SYLLABUS, UNIT 3: THE MOLE

OK, Students!  Halloween's right around the corner!  Then Veterans Day!  Then Thanksgiving!

There's going to be plenty of holidays, in fact. 

Which is why WE NEED TO GET OUR WORK IN, NOW.

With that said, this is a shorter Unit, and there's going to be work to do, every day.  (Even Saturday, if you are assigned Saturday School):

SYLLABUS: UNIT 2, PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Students:  Please find attached the new Syllabus for our current Unit, which is identical to the three-hole punched handout you should receive in class on Friday, September 21st.  We are currently finishing the fifth week of instruction.   If you have not done so, please read Chapters 5-7 in your textbook.

SYLLABUS, UNIT 1: INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY

Students, here is the first of what will be many Unit Syllabi given you in this course.  A syllabus is simply a schedule of events and other important information for a course, and you will receive one for each Unit in Chemistry.

We will review this together in class, and you will receive a three-hole-punched hard copy.  Learn to use this to manage your time!
