• Please complete the survey to help us get feedback on how we are doing as a school.
• Surveys are completed electronically
• Computers are available this evening in the library
Survey for Second Period
• I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry
• I hold two credentials to teach in California, which includes:– Chemistry– Biology
• My family immigrated to the U.S. when I was 2
Who is Mr. Nguyen?
Why Chemistry?• Chemistry is a
perfect class for students who have successfully completed Biology and Algebra 1.
• Chemistry requires students to use their algebra skills to explain the behavior of atoms & molecules.
La química es una clase perfecta para los estudiantes que han completado con éxito la biología y Álgebra 1. Química requiere que los estudiantes usen sus habilidades álgebra para explicar el comportamiento de átomos y moléculas
Chemistry Curriculum• The entire year, we are
going to be looking at how changes in the structure of an atom or molecule causes everything to happen in the world around us.
• Todo el año, vamos a estar viendo cómo los cambios en la estructura de un átomo o molécula de causa todo lo que suceda en el mundo que nos rodea
Chemistry Curriculum• First, we learn how an atom of
an element is arranged. We use the periodic table to help us.
• En primer lugar, aprendemos un átomo de un elemento se arregla. Usamos la tabla periódica para ayudarnos.
• Then we discus how atoms combine to form different types of molecules
• Luego discusión cómo los átomos se combinan para formar diferentes tipos de moléculas.
Chemistry Curriculum• Finally, we look at how different
molecules will behave in different situations.
• Por último, nos fijamos en cómo las diferentes moléculas se comportan en diferentes situaciones.
• By May, we will have studied bonding, acids & bases, solutions, gases, reaction types & rates, organic & biochemistry, equilibrium, and the movement of heat.
• En mayo, tendremos que estudiar la vinculación, ácidos y bases, soluciones, gases, tipos de reacción y rapidez, orgánica y bioquímica, el equilibrio y el movimiento de calor.
Grades
• All Chemistry teachers at La Serna have the same grading policy.
• Todos los maestros de La Serna tenemos el mismo systema de calificar.

Our Chemistry Book
•All students have a Chemistry book at home.•Todos los estudiantes tienen un libro en su casa.
Suggested Materials:
• Bring Scientific Calculator Every Day!
• Highlighter
• Different Colored Pens
• Textbook can stay at home
Assignments• There are assignments given
daily. I stamp completed work.• Todos las días tenemos tarea.
Pondre un sello el día que se entregue en la papel de stampas.
• I will collect all homework on the day we take our test.
• Voy a colectar toda la tarea en el día que tome nuestra prueba.
• Because I allow students 2-3 weeks to make up work, I will not accept late homework packets.
• Porque permite a los estudiantes de 2-3 semanas para terminar el trabajo, no voy a aceptar paquetes finales de la tarea.
Homework Policy • Homework is due at the beginning of the
class period on the date due to be considered “on time”.
• No late work will be accepted after chapter or unit tests have been given or after a prolonged amount of time.
Make-up Work: • It is the student’s
responsibility to obtain any assignments missed during an absence. – Make-up Homework – Make-up Exams/Quizzes – Make-up Labs
The Website • Handouts can be downloaded• PowerPoint Lectures can be downloaded• Homework assignments can be
downloaded• Supplemental Materials
*** Check Stamp Sheet Daily***
Notes• This year I am posting the notes online
and I expect students to copy the notes BEFORE class.
• Este año, estoy subiendo las notes en linea y expecto los estudiantes que copien las notas ANTES del clase.
• This should allow us more time to work on examples during class time. This is my attempt to help support students in being more responsible and preparing for class.
• Esto deberia mas tiempo para trabajar en los ejemplo durante clase. Estoy es mi manera para ayudar los estudiantes en que sean mas responsables y preparado para la clase.
