Chemistry

Welcome to the Chemistry Home Page. Here you will find information about the course and a tentative schedule. Each unit and section includes reading assignments, notes, lab work and reports, quizzes, and an exam. Students should also read through each section of the text as it is covered.

Syllabus

Each unit we cover will take 1-2 weeks, depending on the number of labs, holidays, and other factors. Parents, please ask your student to see his or her unit packet, as this will provide you with a detailed outline of the material and allow you to keep better track of our progress as a class. Below is a general outline of the topics we plan to cover.
