Welcome to 2019-2020 School Year Mrs. Ramos

Mrs. Ramos I have been a teacher for more than ten years now. But before becoming a teacher I used to be a Chemical Engineer; consequently, applying science concepts to real world situations is my specialty. I also love to cook and I experiment a lot in my kitchen. Students in this class will discover how a kitchen can be transformed into a science lab at home.

Chemistry Predict products using different types of chemical reactions Find the concentration of hydronium ions by using the pH level of the solutions Analyze how the amount of reactants affect the rate of the reaction as well as corroborate the law of the conservation of mass

Class Expectations Follow directions the first time they are given. Listen when others are talking. Work quietly and do not disturb others. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. Show respect for school and personal property. Work and play in a safe manner.
