Day 1 - 2017/18 School Year

Welcome to Chemistry!

As we begin the new school year, we took a look at how we can come in each day and approach our mission this year in chemistry according to the motto:

We can accomplish this by being ready to learn each day and also by working together collaboratively towards a common goal...developing a deeper, more relevant understanding of the world around us and how chemistry applies to it. We have a flipped classroom, which allows to use active learning methods in our face-to-face time...things like small-group team-based POGIL activities, guided practice exercises, and lab exercises. Today, we focused on why it's important to be able to work in teams. Give a common set of instructions, students found that they were both more confident and produced a better end-product when they worked as a team.
