Use what talents you possess, for the woods would be silent if no birds sang except for the best. – Henry van Dyke
Good luck in studying for your chemistry, honors chemistry, and physics exams! How are you studying? Best advice? Practice, practice, PRACTICE! Be active in studying – don’t just read over the material. Watching vodcasts of old lectures might not hurt either!
Don’t forget to bring your completed exam review packets when you come on Tuesday. Click below for a copy, if you need it. I’m praying for you!!

Will EVERYTHING that we learned this semester be on the physics exam?
December 7th, 2011 at 7:58 PM
Andrew – Everything.
December 7th, 2011 at 3:59 PM
So for my homework tonight I need to complete this and study for my test tomorrow?
December 7th, 2011 at 7:58 PM
Cailyn – What?? Test on Thursday…… and that’s all. Read this post, the exam review packet, and your syllabus for the due date on the exam review. Were you talking about something else?
December 7th, 2011 at 4:29 PM
May we do like what mrs. johnson does with her exam reviews: fold notebook paper from top to bottom and answer a question per half page?
December 7th, 2011 at 7:55 PM
Aidan – Sure, that will work. Some of the questions may take more than half of a page though.
December 12th, 2011 at 8:01 AM
Ms. Skinner, so i can cut a piece of note paper into half? Is that what she meant?
December 12th, 2011 at 8:39 PM
Lily – You don’t actually cut the paper in half, you just have to take up at least one half of a page of space for each question. You may have some questions that need more than one half page of space. A max of two questions can go on each page.

Ms. Skinner,
I sometimes forget that many are hurting during this time of year because of the loss of loved ones. As children of God, Christians can take hope that we will all be reunited with God at the resurrection, and the trials that we experience here do not mean that God doesn’t care, but that He loves us enough to conform us to the image of His Son.
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;” John 11:25
December 7th, 2011 at 5:17 PM
This is off topic, but is today’s lecture going to be on our test tomorrow?
December 7th, 2011 at 7:52 PM
Katherine – Absolutely!
December 7th, 2011 at 7:04 PM
Does everyone remember who they worked with on the various labs we’ve domne this year?
Because I don’t…
December 7th, 2011 at 7:05 PM
polyatomic ions will be on every test.
December 7th, 2011 at 7:55 PM
This will really help with my exam study!!! Thanks
December 8th, 2011 at 12:36 PM
Thanks for this video Ms. Skinner
December 8th, 2011 at 6:17 PM
Thanks so much for posting this!!! And thank you especially for the opportunity for extra credit!
December 8th, 2011 at 7:18 PM
are we going to have time in class to work on our study guide?
December 8th, 2011 at 9:16 PM
Cornelia – We’ll practice together on the white boards, and then you might have a little time, I’m not sure how much.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:02 PM
thank you for giving us extra credit on the study guide! do you think you could work more conversion problems?
December 8th, 2011 at 9:16 PM
Ashley – Sure! Let’s practice with the white boards some more tomorrow.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:29 PM
Thanks for the study guide, it will help.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:48 PM
I’m glad we got the study guide not last minute. I’ve already started working on it. This will help me out a ton!
December 8th, 2011 at 9:54 PM
Thank you so much for the study guide. It will really help me study this weekend.
December 8th, 2011 at 10:32 PM
Will we receive extra credit for completing the Physics study guide?
December 9th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Charlie, yes we receive 1/4 a point per question. So the study guide completely finished can be worth up to 12 points. I think.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:55 PM
thank you so much for the study guide!
December 9th, 2011 at 6:16 PM
If we do at least 2 problems of each type on the exam guide, do you think we will be prepared?
December 9th, 2011 at 6:23 PM
Thank you for a review packet. I think I will do well.
December 9th, 2011 at 6:25 PM
Thanks for allowing us extra credit. and thanks for giving us a study packet for our test.
December 9th, 2011 at 6:28 PM
Thanks for the study guide, Ms. Skinner!
December 9th, 2011 at 6:47 PM
Do the maximum 40 extra credit that we turn in have to be in order?
December 10th, 2011 at 8:47 PM
Rebecca – Not really, try to keep them in order, but it’s okay if they aren’t. Also, I’d do way more than 40, even though that’s the max for extra credit. As a matter of fact, if it were me, I’d do them all.
December 9th, 2011 at 7:11 PM
Thanks for the Exam Review Packet. I believe the way it is set up will help me study.
December 9th, 2011 at 8:19 PM
Thanks for the study guide! It really helps!
December 9th, 2011 at 9:34 PM
Reviewing old material has really helped me recall all that in have learned
December 9th, 2011 at 10:18 PM
The study guide has already started to help with reviewing for the exam. Thanks! Also, I think in the title, December is typoed.
December 10th, 2011 at 8:44 PM
Elliot – Thanks! I never noticed the typo!
December 9th, 2011 at 10:47 PM
I can’t believe that the first semester of chemistry is almost over!
December 9th, 2011 at 10:49 PM
I am going to do this study guide because the extra 10 points could really help! Thanks ms skinner!
December 9th, 2011 at 11:34 PM
Thanks for the study guide! This semester really flew by.
December 9th, 2011 at 11:55 PM
Thanks for the study guide. I hope it helps!
December 10th, 2011 at 5:25 PM
Ms. Skinner, on the exam study guide, when it says to describe 10 lab safety rules, do we just put what they are or do we also say why each rule exists?
December 10th, 2011 at 8:42 PM
Adam – You can just list the rules on the exam review. On the exam, be able to explain them in context.
December 11th, 2011 at 4:17 PM
I hope I do really well on this!!
December 12th, 2011 at 7:23 AM
Since I’ll be taking my exam in Mrs. Maynard’s , do I need to give it to you first thing tomorrow morning or just give it to her?
December 12th, 2011 at 8:41 PM
Aidan – You can give it to Mrs. Maynard, that’ll be fine. Good luck!
December 12th, 2011 at 2:38 PM
Im really studying hard!
December 12th, 2011 at 2:38 PM
I’m gonna study my butt off for this exam!
December 12th, 2011 at 4:34 PM
Last post of the year
hope my studying pays off!
December 12th, 2011 at 6:31 PM
thank you so much Ms. Skinner for helping me and answering my questions today! ive studied really hard and i hope to do well on the exam!
December 12th, 2011 at 6:43 PM
Hopefully i will do great on the exam!
December 12th, 2011 at 6:53 PM
do we have to write anything for #24??
December 12th, 2011 at 8:34 PM
Ally – I wouldn’t write anything on this one if I were doing it. If it were me, I’d do flash cards or something like that to review/learn this one. Good luck!
December 12th, 2011 at 7:16 PM
I just want to make sure, I’m most likely doing them all, but we only have to have 40 completed right?
December 12th, 2011 at 8:33 PM
Josi – Remember you don’t actually have to turn in any of them at all, but you need to make sure you have done all of them for yourself. You can get extra credit on doing a max of 40, but if I were you, I’d turn in all that you do. Good luck!!
December 12th, 2011 at 8:04 PM
Thanks for the review packet it helped a lot!
December 16th, 2011 at 3:22 PM
Ms. Skinner i was looking on edline and i noticed that the two science in the news extra credit wasn’t there. I was just wondering if you had put it on there yet and it just doesnt show up?
December 16th, 2011 at 7:57 PM
Kimberlee – I wait to the very last thing before I put up extra credit. Everything should be up now – final grades are all in. Merry Christmas!
