To keep ALL of your labs Pens/pencils

You will be graded on a total points system with approximate breakdowns of:

Total Points 2000-2300

Labs (25 pts. each) Homework (10pts each) Quizzes (10-40pts each) Tests (100-150 pts each) Projects (50 pts each – 1-2 per semester)

Coursework will be assigned so that 30% of the student’s grade comes from daily activities, homework, quizzes and class work with the other 70% coming from scores on major assessments, essay assignments, lab reports and major projects. Assignments within each category will be worth different point values based on the expectations of those assignments.

What is chemistry?

The study of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes.

What is matter? What stuff is made of. Chemicals Anything that has. . .

◦ mass◦ inertia (resistance to change in motion)◦ takes up space◦ energy

Proper measurement and lab techniques The structure of an atom The arrangement of the periodic table The reactivity of elements Writing chemical formulas and equations Determining amounts of reactants and

products The behavior of gases Acids and bases

People need◦ Food, water◦ Clothing◦ Shelter◦ Energy

Reduce starvation◦ Preservatives◦ Fertilizers◦ Pesticides

Improve shelter◦ Shingles◦ Sheetrock◦ Insulation◦ Paints
