Wednesday:  Continuing review and practice.

Friday:  Last day to review/practice.  (party???)


Chem-I (per 2,3,6):

Tuesday:  worksheet due.   Starting balancing equations.  HW:  worksheet on balancing.  There will be an open-note 25 pt SubUnit Test on skeleton equations and balancing equations on Wed/Thursday block.

Wed/Thurs block:   review/practice.   SubUnit Test.   Working on book assignment for Friday.  Due Friday:   Read/SSS pages 330 thru 332 (Combination and Decomposition Rxns).  Problems page 331 numbers 13,14 and page 332 numbers 15,16.

Friday:  Assignment due (See above).   Going over SubUnit Test.  Starting Classifying rxns. 


Chem-IA (per 7):
