You may access the North Carolina Department of Public
Instruction K-12 Science - Chemistry page here. This site gives the
NC Essential Standards that I will follow in this class, as well as
reference materials and laboratory safety information.

Please review, sign, and return the laboratory safety sheet that your child brought home. This will allow him or her the opportunity to participate in hands-on classroom activities. We will maintain and follow all safety protocols while participating in practicums and experiments. These protocols include (but are not limited to):​​
-
Properly handling of glassware
-
Wiping up spills immediately
-
Observing rules for no horseplay or other unsafe movements
-
Knowing the Location of the fire extinguisher
-
Wearing of pre-cleaned safety googles ​

Class Rules and guidelines are posted below for your reference.

Class rules & guidelines
