LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS
We will do as many labs as time allows. There will be a combination of virtual online and class labs. Doing as much
work (readings, Homework questions and studying) at home as possible will free up more class time for doing labs. Not
all labs will require formal lab write-ups. Safety is of the utmost importance in the chemistry lab since there are many
hazards present. Chemicals, acids, gas, broken glassware are all possible hazards. Any student who does not demonstrate
an ability to work with the safety of him/herself and his/her classmates in mind will not be allowed in the chemistry lab.
Note: Students will be charged for broken glassware.

EXPECTATION GUIDE
YOU ARE HERE TO LEARN.
Please DO work hard, be respectful of each other (and me), be responsible,
and be positive. You will be successful.
BRING YOUR MATERIALS.
Please DO bring a pen, pencil, eraser, ruler, two inch D-ring binder as a notebook,
paper and scientific calculator, perhaps in a useful pencil case. Every day! Put your
name on all of your belongings. Bring the textbook and workbook to every class.
We will use it as a reference for readings and for extra questions. Take care of the
loaned text and workbook, you are responsible for them. Do not write in the loaned
workbook.
ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED.
Please arrive and be ready with notebooks and textbooks open for class BEFORE
the bell. All absences require a written note from: Doctor/Dentist/Parent/Legal
Guardian/Relative.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS
Late assignments are always due. They will be marked fairly allowing for extra
time taken and whether or not it has already been handed back. Once late, do not
expect as quick a return as when it is handed in on time. 
Quizzes will be given frequently (3-5 per week). They will not necessarily be
announced in advance.
(See attendance required above)
Homework:
Homework will be assigned daily and must be done to give practice needed to
master skills. Mastery reached translates into the ability to teach it to another
person.
