Handouts

Here.

In particular pay attention to the "Text Practice Question Breakdown." This pdf will show you how questions are broken down by similarity in your textbook. When doing practice problems, you should do as many different kinds of problems as possible. Hopefully this pdf will make it easier for you to do that.

The Lab report instructions and example will guide you through lab reports.

The common ions handout is a self -explanatory study tool. Also, the periodic tables with charges will be similarly informative.

Useful Websites:
For all, here's a website I came across that quizzes you on specific
groups of elements that you pick to focus on. ...and you can click to
read over their history and physical/chemical make up too:

how accurate the site is with histories.

Here is another website that helps with learning the periodic table. www.sheppardsoftware.com. Once there click on Chemistry Games, this will bring you to another page. There you will have the options of selecting different difficulty levels. It is a really neat and interactive site that I recommend.
