Periodic Table Galore!!
-Looking for a source of periodic tables? - Would you like to gaze upon tables designed by chemistry types from the early 1800's until now? -Do you appreciate the fine art of chemistry? - Would you…Continue

How to be sure EVERY student is PREpared for LAB. (A timely topic to start the year.)

Speaking with other science teachers, I've found we all share a few common problems. One is trying to ensure that all of our students have prepared for the day's lab. Do they read and highlight the…Continue

Hi Gang: Just wanted to let all the chem folks know I will be at Catalyst showing how to add the Jmol program to all the other plays in the VSEPR section of your playbook. If you don't teach VSEPR per se, there are many other applications for Jmol. So come on along. (If time permits, and it probably will, I will show a number of other great resources I like to use.)
Cheri Smith replied to Cheri Smith's discussion Paying for Worktexts..."Hey Don, Chris et al: I suggest that folks follow the same protocol they've used in the past, not only for Foundations when it was around, but now for the BC Science 8, 9 and 10 workbooks (assuming they do use them).
I am currently…"
Chris Toth replied to Cheri Smith's discussion Paying for Worktexts..."That's pretty much how we do it at our school too Cheri. The same protocol that was in place for the Foundations 10 book should (and I'm sure will) work equally well for the new Chemistry 11 WorkText."

I decided to post the message I recently sent to Chem members in the discussion section to encourage more chat re: how folks intend to use the text, and perhaps more importantly, how they intend to pay for it. Here it is:Our school has been successfully having students purchase worktexts/workbooks since the since Foundations first came out. When fees became a no-no, it was a little tougher, but it's never really been a problem. We simply indicate day one that we intend to use the…See More

Cheri Smith commented on Don Franklin's group CHEMISTRY"Our single copy just arrived. Would LOVE to have a class set BEFORE Spring Break starts. Looks good!"
Cheri Smith commented on Don Franklin's group CHEMISTRY"Hello, Christine and thanks for your question and your interest in the work text. Regarding your question, the many college/university folks I work with at the AP Reading every year recognize devices such as the wheel as just another teaching tool.…"
Cheri Smith replied to Don Franklin's discussion MOLE Chapter - FEEDBACK from Test Drive sites in the group CHEMISTRY"We're up to 3.4 in my Chemistry 11 class. The kids are enjoying it and we're moving through the unit at a good pace (right on target with the pace set in past years). The activities have been great for breaking up calculator-based classes.…"
Cheri Smith replied to Don Franklin's discussion MOLE Chapter - FEEDBACK from Test Drive sites in the group CHEMISTRY"WOW - Annette: A 3-D model of the wheel sounds awesome. Please post a picture as soon as you finish it. Gary and I discussed the possibility of creating a poster of the wheel for teachers to use in their classrooms. Hopefully that idea will also…"
Cheri Smith replied to Don Franklin's discussion MOLE Chapter - FEEDBACK from Test Drive sites in the group CHEMISTRY"WOW, Sandy! If this is a response to your quick overview of the unit, we can't wait to hear your more detailed responses. There are, for sure, some typo's, as Gary mentioned that managed to sneak there way through the editing process. I…"
Cheri Smith replied to Don Franklin's discussion MOLE Chapter - Answer Key for Test Drive Sites in the group CHEMISTRY"WOW! Thanks, Gary! My key for Review Question #2 in Section 3.4 (Molar Volume) gives 0.11 mol rather than 0.10 mol. MINOR difference. Everything else looks great for the keys I've checked. Aloha!!"
Cheri Smith replied to Cheri Smith's discussion Kinetics of Hydrogen Peroxide Lab in the group CHEMISTRY"Hi "Kinetics of Hydrogen Peroxide" fans. I have received a couple of personal emails regarding this lab. Please remember, if you did not get a concentration of 0.18 mol/L for the hydrogen peroxide on your first trial, it does not mean you…"

Kinetics of Hydrogen Peroxide Lab
Hi Gang: Here is a PDF of the Lab we did at the conference. As promised, I've included some graphs (Conc vs time and ln Conc vs time). Be sure to have your students plot 1/Conc vs time as well to check for second order. Just a reminder to expect a half life between 12 and 25 minutes. The peroxide is 0.6% (don't forget the "dead baby" zero) and the permanganate is 0.020 mol/L (very carefully standardized...ho, ho, ho). Have fun!!See More
