Hi Chemistry Lovers,
There will be a final review on Monday, January 19, at 10:30 am in room 11. There is no set format so come prepared with your questions. The review will be very productive for you if you have already completed the bulk of your studying. You should think of it as more of an opportunity to clarify specific misunderstandings. DO NOT come to the review if you haven't put in at least 2 hours of review on your own. We will end around 12:00. Have a productive weekend and I will see you on Monday. :-)
Ms. Marostica
P.S. Is this incredibly sunny gorgeous day torturing anyone else? Could it just rain so I could get some work done already!!

Midterm Review
Please post your top 3 topics you would like to go over. Don't worry about repeating topics others have posted. This simply gives me an idea of the topics the majority of the class needs assistance with. Also, I have posted 5 sets of worksheets on the www.schoolandteacher.com under projects (Fall Midterm). Please print these out and bring them to class tomorrow. All of the multiple choice midterm questions will come from these worksheets. Post any questions on the blog.

Where to find study sheets
Email me your study sheets using anniemarostica@hotmail.com This will allow larger files than my school email. I will then post all study sheets under projects. SL will have separate projects for each period: Study Sheets P.1 and Study Sheets P.2. Make sure you click on the correct project! Remember, the projects must be emailed by 6:30pm MONDAY night.

IB Jigsaw Project
Schedule:
Friday
"Expert" groups were arranged and assigned one of the following topics:
1-Naming
2-Empirical/molecular formula and limiting reagents
3-Bohr's Model and equations with frequency, energy, wavelength, speed, and Planck's constant (h)
4-electron configuration, isoelectronic ions/atoms, periodic trends (size, electronegativity, ionization energy, SHIELDING)
5-Lewis Dot Structures (ionic, covalent, resonance)
6-Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model (VSEPR)
7-Polarity
Groups got together and brainstormed about how to organize their study sheet. *Remember* The best study sheets are concise and well organized. The use of graphic organizers is highly encouraged. This should be a resource for all students to use at a glance. The front of one page is ideal and it should NOT EXCEED one page front and back.
The guide MUST CONTAIN 3 examples and 3 problems for the other students to practice.
Monday
Create your study guide in class. Type up the guide and submit over email to Ms. Marostica (can't post documents on blog :( ). This is due NO LATER THAN 6:30 Monday night. Ms. Marostica will try to post these sheets on the website monday night but may not be able to as she will be out of the state. SO, it will be required that every expert group member have a copy of his/her own groups study sheet. For example, on Tuesday, every member of group 1 should come to school with a printed version of the study sheet. Make sure you exchange emails so you can send everyone a copy.
Tuesday
One member of each group will get together with each other. This means we will have several groups of 7 people. Each person will get 7 minutes to explain his/her topic. During this time, at least one problem should be attempted by the group with the help of the expert to guide them through the process of solving the problem. Ms. Marostica will post all study guides Tuesday night so you can review them for the quiz. The quiz will directly focus on topics 5-7 but you will need information from all topics to be successful as the material builds on eachother.
