AP Chemistry

We will be having our next test on Wednesday over Thermodynamics. For extra practice you can visit Adrian Dingle's Chemistry Pages and click the quizes under "Topic 9".

Also your thermodynamic and thermochemistry e-homework will be due on Wednesday!

All Classes

I am now done with your nine weeks averages, I graded all day :.( Anyway, if you want to know your average drop me an e-mail at pamela.francis@burkburnettisd.org otherwise, they'll be posted Monday morning

Pre-AP Chemistry

Your science fair spiral and research plan are due next week either Tuesday (A) or Wednesday (B)

Each student must fill out a research plan form and complete the typed attachment. Information about the form can be found here. If you scroll down at this site, you will need to fill out 1, 1A and 1B. I gave you hard copies of this form, but if you have lost it you can get another copy (or fill them out) here.

Also in your spiral you will need to have two more pages of research (from the internet or library) and a written procedure, materials list and time outline for your project.

The handouts for the instructions or bibliographies can be found over to the left on the link that says "Power Point and Class Handout link".

AP Chemistry

Over in the "useful links" on the left I have put a link to the college boards web-site of all the old AP questions that you can use for review for any of my tests.

All Classes

Binders are due next Monday, October 20 for A-day students and Tuesday, October 21 for B-day students.

Please remember that late binders will not be accepted for any reason.

EVERYONE!!! Part 2

Sometimes the links on the left to my power points and documents need more than one click. Try it a couple times. If it still doesn't work, or your frustrated, go to my webpage on the school website and try from there.

EVERYONE!!!

I have started uploading my class power points. So if you have missed class, or simply want to see the power point again, they will be listed on the left.

Regular Chemistry

We will be starting to memorize the polyatomic ion list part at a time. If you have lost your list. There is a copy in the links on the left of this web page.

AP Chemistry

The next chapter we will be covering is electrochemistry. We did very little of this last year. Below is a preview of the notes we will be taking. Watching this may make understanding class easier for you.

Electrochem Podcast part 1

Pre-AP Chemistry

We are working on naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds. For an extra practice you can visit this worksheet with answers.

For quick re-explanation, you can visit here .

While your here you can enjoy a lovely picture of salt crystals. Regular formula units give it a cubic formation.

Pre-AP Chemistry

We are starting on memorizing our polyatomic ions. For Monday or Tuesday next week you have tom memorize the first ten on the list. If you have lost your list, look to the new handout link on the left to download yourself a copy.

Pre-AP Chemistry

We have an element quiz coming up soon. You can practice (even though it doesn't have all of the elements on the list ) on a matching game here.

AP Chemistry

Here are some Podcasts for the next test over Chapter 4. Remember that it is an AP style test and it will be given next Wednesday.

Podcast #1: Predicting Oxidation numbers and Balancing redox equations


Podcast #2: Redox and Stochiometry


A practice quiz over predicting oxidation numbers can be found here .

Also thought you'd enjoy a cool picture of some oxidation with the chemical process shown in the illustration.

Pre-AP Chemistry

You have project information due either Thursday (Sept 25) or Friday (Sept 26)

Details are below...

First Spiral Evaluation
1. You will record all information in ink in a wide rule spiral notebook on the fronts of pages.

2. Page numbers need to be written, in ink, in the upper right hand corner of all spiral pages prior to beginning the project.

3. You will need a question and a hypothesis. Write these on the second page.

4. The spiral must contain:
a) a title page including: name, class-period, title of project, teacher name
b) written information from at least two different sources with a total of 2 pages in length of information.
i. No more than 1 source may come from a general encyclopedia. (Britannia, Encarta, etc.)
ii. You may use 1 specific encyclopedia as a source (examples: medical encyclopedia, plant encyclopedia, chemistry encyclopedia)
iii.Your textbook may NOT count as a source; you may use 1 other textbook as a source though.
iv. FOR THIS EVALUATION, NO INTERNET SOURCES ALLOWED!

c) a bibliography for each source must be stated in the top margin of the page, with all information taken from that source written following the bibliography.
