6/17/10 It's all over now

 Finished grading the test last night.  Everyone that took the test passed it.  I will post it to Edline later.  Hope to see everyone on 7/10.

6/2/10 Review & Final test coming

Students should collect their lab reports and bring them into class on Friday.  These reports must be on file, according to NYS guidelines. 

There will be an in class final test on Monday and Tuesday June 7 & 8. This will include material from the entire year.This should help serve as final review.  It will count as a quarter test.  Additionally, any student that scores higher than they did on the midterm will geplace their midterm score with this score.  This test can really improve your grades, you should take it seriously. 

The Regents test will be given on Wednesday June 16 at Noon.  Students will have 3 hours to complete the test. 

On Thursday we will be doing a tie dye activity.  Students must being their own clothes item to dye.  

5/24/10 End of year schedule

• On Tuesday May 25, we will take out final unit test on Acids & Bases. A makeup will be posted on Castle Learning .
• On Monday and Tuesday June 7 & 8, we will take a class final test. This will include material from the entire year. It will count as a test grade for the fourth quarter. Additionally, it can count as a makeup for the midterm. If students score higher on this test than the midterm test, I will replace their midterm score with this one. There will be no makeup for this test.
• The Regents test is on Wednesday June 16 at noon.
  

Students that have to make up labs can use search for the actual labs in the lab books in order to make up any missing lab reports. All lab reports must be turned in by June 1 and be satisfactorily done to be eligible for the Regents test. I have calculated that students may be missing up to 4 labs and still have enough lab time to take the test. Students have been notified in class as to which labs they are missing.

5/17/10 Acid Base & Review

We did a lab on Acid/Base indicators.

We reviewed material from the first section of the review book, the atom.

Students should do the next section of the review book, Formulas & equations. They should do the practice questions on p 43 & 44 for Thursday, 5/20.

5/12/10 Acids & Bases - Start Review

<- Don't enter the test this way.

To begin review for the Regents test, which will be given on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 12 noon, we will start to use the review books. Students should read pages 2 - 20 and answer the practice questions on p 21-23. This will be due on Monday 5/17. We will continue with another section every few days. You may work ahead at your own pace. Assignments will always be from the practice questions at the back of each section.

Students have to hand in any owed lab reports by 6/1 to be eligible to take the Regents test.

We will continue with the Acids & Bases Unit.

5/5/10 Electrochemistry test on Friday

Today we continued with review of electrochemistry and went on to acids & bases.

We will have a review day on Thursday. Students will be able to review and/or use worksheets to prepare for the teat on Friday. The entire worksheet can be found at Mark Rosengarten's site, or you can go directly to the page for the electrochemistry unit. An even more in depth worksheet set can be found here.

Notes for the unit, Electrochemistry, are available in several formats:

Students will have to log in with "averillpark.studentid" where studentid is their id number in 9 digit format, with leading zeros, if needed. The first time students log in they will be prompted to set up a password. Follow the instructions to enter a password. If you have forgotten your password you must notify me and I will reset your password.

There is also a worksheet on organic chemistry posted. This is an assignment. you should complete this before we return to school after our spring break. It will be graded. You will get full credit for a second try. It will count as a ? score.
