Chemistry
The Chemistry Page will give first year chemistry students access to all of the notes, worksheets, labs, Powerpoints and other important documents for my General Chemistry classes. You may also access your current grades, a current Course Calendar, as well as links to free chemistry software. Interactive review activities for important concepts, organized by units, are provided to help the student prepare for important benchmarks and tests.
Biology
I will not be teaching Biology during the 2009 - 2010 school year. I will continue to provide access to my course materials, including Powerpoints (web-based and offline formats) and interactive review activities to help the student prepare for important benchmarks and tests. I may even find the time to add a few new things, so check back often.
AP Chemistry
AP Chemistry IS NOT being taught at El Diamante during the 2009 - 2010 academic year. The enrollment was insufficient to jusify placing the class on the schedule. None-the-less I will continue to make available my resources on the AP Chemistry Page, including my course notes for the class, Powerpoints, interactive practice activities, and programs for the TI-83plus graphing calculator.
Conceptual Physics
Conceptual Physics will be offered for the first time at El Diamante during the 2010 - 2011 academic year. Conceptual Physics is an introductory study of the central concepts of physics with an emphasis on understanding concepts. The course emphasizes fundamental concepts by explaining physics in down-to-earth language and uses mathematical formulas as a guide to thinking and problem solving.
