Extra Credit Opportunities for 2nd Quarter

1. Research a demonstration or lab that you would like to perform this year.  You must list the procedure and information for the lab, and answer the following questions:

    A.      The Purpose – When would this be appropriate to incorporate into our curriculum?

    B.      The Materials needed, including how MUCH is needed if the whole class will participate.

    C.      Safety Concerns – For example, what safety equipment should we wear ? Does the experiment have to be performed in a hood (due to fumes)? How many people could observe this safely? Could the whole class do this, or should it be done as a demonstration?

D.      Time estimate – How long would it take to set-up/perform/clean-up?

E.       Waste Disposal – Are there any solutions that need to be disposed of in a special manner?

2. Complete Activity B and C on the Electron Configuration Gizmo. (We previously did Activity A.)  www.explorelearning.com.  See Mrs. Murphy if you have forgotten your log-in information.

Dear Parents and Students,

I'd like to welcome you all to a new year at J.L. Mann and introduce myself.  I am a new teacher to Mann, but not to the profession and not to South Carolina.  I am from the Aiken area, and recently transferred with my husband to the Greenville area.  I am looking forward to working with you this year, so that your child can succeed in high school Chemistry.

As I tell my students the first day of class, I have high expectations for them, but I will bend over backwards to help them reach and exceed those expectations.  I am available by email at jmmurphy@greenville.k12.sc.us or by phone 355-4781 (although the phone is still a work in progress).  I am available for help every day before school from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. or after school by appointment, due to after school duty.

All I ask of you as a parent is to please ensure that your child is in class every day and prepared for the new day.  Please take a minute to look over the syllabus and plans for the year, that I will attach as a separate document. 

Thank you!

Jaime Murphy
