=** Welcome to the exciting world of Chemistry! **=


 * I am looking forward to meeting all of you this year. I hope that we will get to know each other while we tackle the exciting, yet sometimes complex concepts of Chemistry!

As you may already know, my name is Miss Bednarick and I will be your teacher throughout the course of the year. Our class meets everyday from 11:00 a.m to 11:45 a.m, with a second period on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays will be the days that we complete a lab, but this does not mean we will always do a lab on these days. If not, this will be a double period of lecture, but don't worry, I will try my best to make it fun and exciting!

There will be a textbook for this class... and I do expect you to read it! Not to worry, I am not going to expect you to read a lot at once, but taking a half hour every night to read a short section will help you in the long run! This will be handed out to you on the first day of class. Problems will be assigned from the text, and I will give this to you DURING class.

Also, by the second day of school, I ask that you have a binder with notebook paper and pencils. Since Chemistry can sometimes require a lot of math, pencils are preferred.

Additional details about the class will be provided on the first day. Also, the information for each unit that is discussed and completed will be provided on this website. Click here to see the syllabus for a two to three week time period.

As you can see from the navigation bar on the left, there is a link for a calendar. This can be a very useful resource to everyone, and I hope it will be taken advantage of. I will have the plans for each day posted here, when homework is due, when quizzes/exams are, etc. I also have a link for videos, and the videos will always relate to whatever topic we happen to be discussing. A link for the syllabus is also provided here, in addition to the one in the previous paragraph.

Before each new topic is discussed, I would like to get an idea of how much you know about that topic. Hence the link here and on the navigation bar for the Pre-Quizzes. Go to this page to find out more!

See you in class!**
