So, another snow day! I hope you had a really productive class yesterday working on your chemical reactions that changed the world project.
You WILL need to continue to work on your project from home today and this weekend. I had booked the computer lab for today so that you could continue to work on it. You should contact your partner and discuss a plan for progressing far in your work on this project. There won't be much time to work on it next week before it is due on Thursday.
Have a great long weekend!

Hello SNC2D students. I hope you enjoyed your first snow of the season! Watch the skies tomorrow morning - looks like snow squalls overnight......
Remember that you should be doing research on your chemistry project while at home.

When you work on researching your chemistry topic, try a search on Ebsco Host. The link to it is on the CHSS website (left side of page). To login the username is chss and the password is ebsco. There are lots of great publications that you can link to from here. Try to find listings that say "Full Text". These will give you the full text article rather than just the abstract, which is a summary.

Good morning! Today you will choose your topic for the Chemical Reactions That Changed the World project. Do some research on the reactions (or set of reactions) that you have chosen. Read the post below this for more details. Here are some possible other topics you might want to consider doing.
