Welcome to Night School Chemistry with Mr Jopp
Hello night school students! So glad you are along for the ride this quarter to earn a credit in Chemistry. I will admit up front that we are not going to focus just on chemistry, but will focus on one science concept per week and share some thoughts about it on Google Classroom.
These concepts will include:
Density
States of matter
Acid/base reactions
Thermal properties
Optics
...and a few more to be decided later.
In all cases we will look at how these concepts apply to the world around you and not just in a classroom lab setting.
Different but (I hope) useful in understanding science better.
Assignments will be posted right here every Tuesday morning.
