Welcome to mrchemistry.org!

     This site is designed to present a menu of learning activities that one can access to build one’s understanding of chemical concepts. 

     Each day’s assignment is given in class, described on this web site, and is due the next school day unless it is a laboratory investigation or other project.  Laboratory investigations and projects are worked on over a period of a number of days.  Any needed updates to an assignment are given through the Remind® app which all students are asked to use.

     Except for laboratory related assignments, the core of the day’s assignment is to continue learning using this site’s guidance.

Assignments are to be written in your Agenda and should be numbered by Learning Activity Reference Number [from 1 to 176] and checked off, √, in the Agenda when finished.
