Welcome: Chemistry Honors Summer Review
Mrs. Hallquist- A309
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONDue Date:
- Completion of the entire review is optional; students are required to submit a summary of 10 problems at the start of school. There will be a quiz at the end of the first week back from school. Students can bring in completed review pages on the first day of school; student questions will be reviewed, content will not be taught directly.
Expectations:
- Success in Chemistry requires certain basic skills supporting more complex concepts. Honors students are expected to be curious, good with time management, self-directed and able to "think outside the box". This summer review will check your basic skills while involving time management and self-direction.
- For help over the summer, please contact me at dhallquist@umasd.org, Mr Kushner at jkushner@umasd.org or Mrs. Staley at dstaley@umasd.org.
- Summer Review documents will require a submission of a summary assignment. Students will choose a total of 10 problems from the prescribed sections of the 70+ practice problems to submit. The summary sheet consists of demonstrating the solution to a problem, then writing a small description of HOW the problem was solved.
Summer Communication/Updates:
- Through GMAIL: Check your Google e-mails for updates.
Quiz:- A quiz will be given on these topics at the end of the first week of school. Be ready :)
ANSWER KEY- Summer Review ANSWER KEY
