HONORS: THE CONVERSION EXPERIENCE, PART 2

Honors Students:

This is the SECOND part of 'The Conversion Experience', which are the Notes that form the basis of the Study Guide of the same name.

The first part covered the concept of the mole and molar conversion problems, which used fractional setups with cancellations.

This second part adds the concept of the balanced equations used to describe chemical reactions, and combines those equations with molar conversion setups to make real-world measurements of predictions of actual reactions.

VIDEO: "THE LIVES OF THE STARS"

;

The following episode of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, 'The Lives of the Stars', forms the basis of a student homework assignment given in class on Friday, September 1st.  

It can be viewed on-line currently HERE.

EXTRA CREDIT, UNIT 2 (REGULARS)

Students:   This message is for students in Mr. Hatfield's Regular Chemistry sections (periods 2-5):

RA 4

RA 5

RA 6

The above assignments are the section assessment questions from Chapters 4, 5 and 6 from your text.  

These assignments are found on 'turnitin.com'.  

Please submit your ORIGINAL responses, which must be in COMPLETE sentences that REFER TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION.  Each of these assignments can earn you up to 15 points of extra credit---very helpful in this course!

REGULARS: THE PERIODIC TABLE

Students:  Here are the Power Point Notes on the Periodic Table given to my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th-period classes.  Inside you will find information about the structure of the periodic table, how to read it, how to calculate molar masses, isotopes and ions, ionic and covalent bonds.  This is all material that will be on your next Unit Test, on Tuesday, October 8th.

HONORS: THE CONVERSION EXPERIENCE, Part 1

Students:  These are the Power Point Notes for the first part of  'The Conversion Experience', which introduces the mole, conversions to mass (grams), volume (Liters) and particles of substance (atoms or molecules).

The second part of these notes will contain material on chemical reactions and stoichiometry problems,which apply the conversion techniques currently being practiced by students.

UNIT 2 SYLLABUS, HONORS (blue) and REGULAR (white)

The Honors Syllabus for Period 1 is shown below, in blue:

Periods 2-5 are found below, in white:

These two syllabi are significantly different from one another.  Just remember, students:  HONORS syllabi will always be blue, while regular Chemistry syllabi will be white.
