VIDEO: SCIENTIFIC METHOD IN CHEMISTRY

Mr. Hatfield's students can watch this video, which summarizes material covered in the Study Guide 'The Nature of Chemistry.'   

The actual Power Points notes which both items are based on will be shared in a future blog post, soon:

YOUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT IN MR. HATFIELD'S COURSE

Students should've received, completed and returned a Course Contract that outlines some expectations for the learning environment in Mr. Hatfield's Science Classes.

Since every period has a different 'class color', the same Contract has been made available to students in a color that matches their class:

Students receive 10 points of extra credit for promptly returning the Contract, which is their first assignment in this course.  

Students will receive a three-hole punched copy of the contract to keep in their Binder.  Students and their parents can also access that information at any time by returning to this post and clicking on the image below:

WELCOME TO MR. HATFIELD'S CLASSES

 


Students, my name is Scott Hatfield



I will be serving as your Science Instructor in the 2023-2024 school year.  Periods 1, 2, 5 and 6 are sections of Chemistry, while Period 3 is a section of Conceptual Physics.  We will often distinguish those classes on the basis of color:

SHS students need to be prepared to function as citizens and consumers in a world that increasingly uses digital resources to communicate information. 

This includes email!  Mr. Hatfield's email is:

This also includes  apps like Canvas, Clever and Google Docs, as well as this blog, 'Chemistry Nation', which you can think of as a virtual classroom notice board, constantly being built and rebuilt:
