Chemistry and Forensics
"An Investigative Approach to Science" |
Welcome to Chemistry and Forensics! This year, we will be discussing various chemical topics ranging from Matter Properties, Nuclear Chemistry and Atomic Structure, Periodicity, Molecular Bonding, Reactions and Stoichiometry, Solution Equilibrium, Acid/Base Reaction, and Thermochemistry. This will be preceded by a brief unit on basic chemical skills needed to succeed in this course. Our overall goal for the year, aside from the content, will be two-fold: through popular college pedagogies, activities, and presentations, we will hone our scientific deductive skills by looking at Chemistry through the scope of Forensics. Hopefully, this course will prepare for college-level science and pique your interest in scientific reasoning. The course will be difficult and challenging (especially during the second semester), but it will also be awesome and I’m sure you guys are up to it!
You can use this site to find all of the important documents and information for the course. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to see these documents.
| Summary |
This page will outline what is done in class everyday and will explain any homework. If you are ever absent or forget what the homework is, check out this page page first. You can also find any handouts given in class here. |
| Case Reports |
This page will be the home for all of the Case Reports that we do in class. Any additional information needed to complete a Case Report can be found here, along with any due dates. |
| Laboratories |
This page will contain all of the Pre-Labs and Laboratories for the course. If, for some reason, you need a new copy of the lab or you are absent, you can find copies here. |
| Problem Sets |
The daily Problem Sets and answer keys can be found here. This page will also list due dates for the assignments. Be sure to check here when studying for Exams! |
| Organization |
Here, you can find out exactly what needs to be in your notebook and in what order it should be in. I will check notebooks daily and assign grades for Assignments, so be sure that your notebook is in order everyday, because you never know when I will be checking them. |
