Beginning in the 2008 - 2009 school year, I will no longer be the AP Chemistry teacher at El Diamante High School. With my complete support, the course will now be taught by Mrs. Marshall. WHY the change? Because I firmly believe that young, capable teachers should not have to wait for veteran teachers to retire in order to teach AP courses. If you are an El Diamante student, and are interested in taking AP Chemistry, feel free to speak with your science teacher about the expectations for students taking Advanced Placement courses.

picture of the bookDespite the fact that I am no longer teaching the course, I will continue to make my resources available to any other teachers or students who might find them useful. You may still access my notes, Powerpoints, and other printed and "virtual" resources. Students may hone their skills and knowledge with the Interactive Practice Exercises, as well as select and print a periodic table on the Printable Periodic Tables page. Reviews and links to some of my favorite chemistry related freeware can be found on the Chemistry Freeware page. I have a collection of Programs for the TI-83plus graphing calculator, most of which I have written myself, for solving various types of Chemistry problems.


Unless you are a student of mine, or a parent of one of my students, please do not contact me for assistance - I do not have time to correspond, and all of the resources that I am willing to share are already available here. Students and parents may most easily contact me at my home email address.
