The TBE

The TextbookEnhancer is our really good friend. It is the book Cracking the AP Chemistry Code.

Get it, fall in love with it, marry it. We will be using it often.

I'm really serious.

Summer Assignment

Here's your assignment for the summer. I'm assuming you have either taken chemistry, or are really smart, or both. So this won't be a problem. ;)

Read Chapter 1 and answer the following end-of-chapter questions:
# 3, 10, 19, 20, 23, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 57, 59, 64, 65.

I would also like to you to do 41 a, b, and c . This one is a bit hard (according to MacLean, but he's kinda wimpy). Make sure you show all of the steps that you do while using dimensional analysis (Bob and Eddie, if you had me for chem). It is a bit tedious, but it will be good for all of you to improve in the area of conversions. After doing this problem, you will appreciate the metric system a little bit more too I think. But maybe not.

You may find the turquoise study guide that you checked out from the media center of great help this year, particularly for Chapter 1. You will receive a quiz on it the first day of school if MacLean gives me the test bank. If you have any questions about the work or course, you may call me anytime before the last day. I will not answer any homework questions the last day before school begins. You can get my cell phone number from me personally (Don't want it on the internet; FBI still looking for me.) My e-mail address is mritter@firstlightastro.com.

Don't be afraid to contact me if you have questions! But be afraid of my boys. (?)
