  6. Major Topics • The Periodic Table • Atomic Structure • Bonding • Reactions • Gases • Acids/Bases • Force • Motion (Newton’s Laws) • We begin the year with chemistry topics.

  7. Homework • There is not a lot of homework for this class. • Students will create graphic organizers, take very focused notes, and prepare other review materials to use as study aids for quizzes.

  8. Quizzes • There will be several quizzes for each unit. • Quizzes are announced ahead of time and generally contain one, or two, topics.
