Intro Quantitative Chemistry Unit 1

WELCOME TO CLEVELAND CHEMISTRY...

 This is the introduction unit for Chemistry year 1.  In Modern Chemistry you should read and study chapter 1 and complete the odd questions 1 to 23 at the end of the chapter.  There will be a quiz on 9/15 and the questions are due by the class day before this.  You should also read and study chapter 2 and complete odd questions 1 to 45 at the end of the chapter.  There will be a test on 9/23 on this unit and all work in the unit is due by this day at the latest.  No work will be accepted for this unit after 9/23.

You need to know HOW TO STUDY CHEMISTRY.  This course can quickly become difficult if you do not have study skills and do not PRACTICE study skills.  Read page 904 to 907 in the text book on study skills, it has some quite useful advice.  The most useful is to read and problem solve ahead of class.  

Students who are not prepared in math skills are the students who struggle the most and have to spend the most time on chemistry.  If you are not concurrently enrolled in algebra 3-4 or above you may not really have the prerequisite math ability for chemistry.  Students in geometry will need to spend more time on parts of chemistry, especially in the second semester to keep up.  If you have questions about your ability to do math and chemistry please talk to me right away.

Please read the syllabus and put the important websites from this link into your notes.  In addition to study of the text and your class notes you should consider the internet, especially YouTube chemistry channels, an essential part of learning chemistry well.  WATCH THE VIDEOS... you will slowly build important concepts...
