Summer Assignment
Kolbe's Course Plan is based on an 18 week semester but CCS operates on a 16 week semester. Therefore, in order to complete the whole course or very close to it, some work will need to be done over the summer. Most of the summer assignment will be review of Physical Science concepts and so should be straightforward enough for students to do independently.
Please come to class the first day having completed and corrected the following assignment, which is essentially WEEK 1 of the Course Plan. Keep track of any questions you have to ask in class the first day.
CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY
