Welcome to Honors Chemistry!
Tips for Success:
We use Google Classroom for communication.
If you are having trouble with something, get help immediately. If I am not at my desk, wait a few minutes; I may be running off copies or in the prep room. Every chemistry teacher in the building is an excellent instructor and will be willing to help you. Please see the posted schedules for chemistry department tutoring. Any teacher in the department can help with concepts from the class.
Your textbook is your friend! Log in through the NEISD launchpad service and click the SAVVAS EasyBridge icon.
Philosophy: I love putting chemistry and growth-oriented students together. In all of science, but especially in chemistry, your analytical brain and your creative brain are constantly talking to each other. Physical science, develops the connections in your middle brain, and helps you to learn higher-order thinking skills. That will be invaluable in every area of life. This is one of the reasons most high school students study chemistry. Chemistry is useful to everyone. From cooking to fertilizing your lawn to roach-proofing your house or apartment, chemistry can find practical application in your life daily.
