Welcome to Mrs Haydamacker's Physical Science & Chemistry Class!

 


 

 

Three things you are expected to bring to class EVERY DAY:

  • 3 ring Binder  (with tabs) - these should be brought home AT LEAST once per week to review and discuss classroom accomplishments with parents.
  • ERASABLE PEN is preferred, or Pencil/Pen
  • Positive Attitude

 

BINDER TABS SHOULD BE LABELED THE WAY YOU LIKE TO ORGINIZE THE BEST, BY CATEGORY OR BY CHAPTER:

 

By Category:

  • Notes
  • Practice (Quizzes, Classwork,Homework)
  • Performance (Tests, Writing, Projects)
  • Working on (Tasks that are in progress)

 

By Chapter:

 

6th grade:

  • Ch 4 Energy
  • Ch 6 Thermal Energy
  • Ch 15 Classification of Matter
  • Ch 16 Solids, Liquids, & Gases 

7th grade:

  • Ch 10 & 11 Waves & Sound
  • Ch 12 & 13 Electromagnetic Waves & Light
  • Chapter 17 Properties of Atoms & the Periodic Table
  • Ch 19 Elements and their Properties
  • Ch 20 & 21 Chemical Bonds & Reactions
  • Ch 23 Acids, Bases & Salts

 

One Rule: Be Respectful
