You have elected to take Chemistry. No matter the reason, you have made a wise choice in taking this class; if you plan on taking any science classes in college it is very wise to get an introduction to them in high school. You will learn Chemistry as a series of interconnected concepts that explains how life in the world exists, . You will also learn how you learn, and how to make different learning styles work for you. Finally, you'll develop critical thinking and analysis skills that will serve you well, no matter what career or field of study you pursue after high school. Be prepared for this course to take up a good bit of your time because it is designed to prepare you for college in vigor, content, and study skills.

Chemistry Syllabus & Syllabus Foldable Activity |
Here is an example of what your foldable will look like:
|
Remind Sign Up
- Remind is used to send out reminders about upcoming assignment due dates, last minute changes to assignments, and reminders on what to bring to class on certain days
- You are required to sign up for my remind. This will go in as your first participation grade for the semester.
- To sign up:
Text the number 81010 (where you put the phone number) with the following message exactly: (the "1" below are the number one)
2nd Period - @hhschem2nd
5th Period - @hhschem5th
6th Period - @hhschem6th
7th Period - @hhschem7th
You must put in your first and last name (no crazy names).
You may opt to sign up through email instead. To do so type in your class code (without the @ in front) and put it into the format in the image below. The image is from 1st period chemistry so remember to type in your class code!!!
