Chemistry Lesson Plans
Welcome to Chemistry!
Students will need a binder, a simple, scientific calculator (does not need to be programmable), and a $4.50 lab fee. We are accepting paper towel donations this year since lab is not possible during the pandemic.
Students must join the following groups to receive communication on their phones about our Chemistry classes using the Remind app. You can download the free Remind app to your phone. To join a particular group, you simply text the following message to the phone number 81010 and follow the directions:
Chemistry Virtual Learners - text the message @newton13
1st Period - text the message @newton12
