Welcome!
The contents of these pages are neither the responsibility of El Diamante High School nor Visalia Unified School District. None-the-less, I believe that the contents are appropriate for secondary instruction, as are any resources linked from within this site. Feel free to look around. Some of the resources may be very specific to the courses that I teach, while others may be of general use to many high school science students and instructors. Students and teachers may print, or download and use any materials that you find helpful. ***I do not distribute the original, editable files to students or teachers, and I DO NOT answer homework questions from students other than those I have in class - Sorry!
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.
AP Chemistry
We are up and running with our first AP Chemistry class in four years. The AP Chemistry Page hosts the resources for the class, which include PowerPoints in Flash format, notes, review activities, and a calendar. Though I developed the resources for my AP students, they will probably also prove useful to college students taking a first year chemistry course.
Biology
I will not be teaching Biology during the 2011 - 2012 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.
