       Professional Biography:  I received my Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees at Central Washington University in Nutritional Science and went on to work as a Registered Dietitian for 7 years.  I realized my favorite part of my job was teaching so decided to go back to school to become certified as a high school teacher.  I attended Saint Martin's University for my credentials.  I spent one year working at Centralia Middle School and then landed at my alma mater Tumwater High School where I have been teaching for 15 years!

      Summer Homework: 
       Welcome to Honors Chemistry for the 2017-2018 academic year.  Please expect a rigorous AND vigorousworkload.  We will attempt to accomplishin one semester what we do in one year of “regular” chemistry.  In order to do this you must have masteryknowledge of concepts learned in THS’ Accelerated Physical Science and someadditional concepts from general chemistry. To be most prepared for this class, you should review the following chapters/sections of the Chemistry text,you will be expected to be familiar with this information because we will nottake the time in class to learn it:

      Chapter 2, all sections

      Chapter 3, all sections

      Chapter 4, all sections

      Chapter 5, section 3 (We willbegin the year with chapter 5 section 1)

      Chapter 6, section 1

      Chapter 7, section 1: findingvalence electrons, section 2 (be able to form ionic bonds)

      Chapter 8, sections 1 and somefamiliarity of section 2 (simple covalent bonds)

      Chapter 9, section 1, section 2for binary compounds not polyatomic, section 3

      Chapter 11, sections 1 and 2(balancing and classifying chemical reactions)

       

      You must check out a chemistry text book during the last two days of school (they won’t be available until then) and complete the following assignment that will be due the first day of class:

      Chapter 2:

      1.      Describe the difference between intensive and extensive properties and give examples of each.
