IB Chemistry
Welcome back! Second semester is going to be tough (of course), but very rewarding (also, of course). You'll get back into some Organic Chemistry, plus you'll be learning about Food Chemistry- additives, packaging, antioxidants, colorings, and Environmental Chemistry- ozone, global warming, waste management, and water purification.
There will be a final exam in early May. I like to give it before students take the real IB exam May 19, so they get the full experience before it counts for potential college-credit.
Chemistry
Please note that the "Chemistry of __" project will be pushed into next semester because we just don't have enough time to complete it without creating homework this week.
This semester is going to be fun! We'll start with a unit on reactions-- yay! Lots of labs! Then, we're on to Stoichiometry (big word, huh?), acids and bases, reaction rates, and finally organic chemistry. We'll have three big labs this semester (1) examining the yield in a magnesium reaction (2) investigating rates of a reaction with acetic acid and (3) ranking diaper absorption.
