My classroom style! Chemistry is FUN! Yes it’s my theme. Chemistry without lab is not Chemistry! Students work in groups most the time. 4 main projects through the year, one each MP. (paper, presentations……). My best lesson when I connect what I teach to my students’ lives. My grading system 40% tests, 15% quizzes, 10% H.W, 20% lab, 5% project, 10 Class participation.

My classroom design I keep seating in half circle shape. Have 12 new computers, internet connection, overhead, VCR and TV. Some Vernier probes. Looking to have projector. (looking for fund). Do you have some!
