Welcome to per-IB - chemistry
2005/06 with Mr. Steidl
If you need to get a hold of me
during the summer or next fall (e.g. letter of reference), please use
my personal e-mail address
as I'm not sure how long I will have access to my district e-mail.
usteidl@myuw.net
This website is designed as a resource for students and parents.
Lesson plans (often containing assignments and handouts), extra credit
opportunities, HW solutions (not always), test dates etc will be posted
on this site. If you miss class for any reason, it is your
responsibility to find out what you missed.
DISCLAIMER:
The lesson plans are primarily written for ME and often a lot of extra
explanation, examples and clarification is given in class.
Those plans are NOT intended to replace taking notes in class. They are
not intended to even make sense to you without further explanation.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
I try to have this website updated at least every other day, but no
promises.
My contact information:

This year I teach 1st, 5th, 7th, 4th and 8th periods. I
have 1st WP in F-206 (our classroom)
VERY helpful info for
frosh /
soph who are considering the full
IB program.
This website shows you all the
options and constraints you have in selcting your classes.
Please take a look at it before
you register!!!. Ask me if you have any questions

deadline for extra credit papers (see May 12th) to be turned in.
Come with questions!!!! I will not stand in front of the class
and talk for 90 minutes.
Remember to return your book if you haven't yet!
GPT update: I need a second
printout of your GPT. If for some reason you can't make another
printout
I will accept a copy of the original one.
It is my intent to hand them all back by June 14th. You will need the
original for your portfolio.
June 12/13
Review for
final
June 8/9
Energy
unit quiz today, ~ 30 points worth,
~ 45 min time
Several students wanted to know why I will not be teaching at EWHS next
year. Here's the answer.
June 6/7
June 7th: moving-up assembley & yearbook (45 min periods)
Worksheet due today, worth 9 HW points. SHOW YOUR WORK!
Review for final today. Energy problems answer key
(detailed
version)
Extra credit announcement:
due to multiple requests I am adding the movie "An Inconvenient Truth"
as another option (instead of a lecture at the UW). Same
write-up deal as with the lecture. Staple your movie
ticket stub to the paper as proof of attendance. You can still
go to a UW lecture for extra credit, but the extra
credit is "either lecture or movie", not "both"!

Progress report comments: I gave
students the option to chose their own comments.
I did change some if I felt it was necessary. However, I did NOT change
the obviously wrong ones,
like "fails to suit up for gym class".
May 12th Non - student day
Extra Credit opportunity (up to 10
test points) :
Attend ANY ONE science related lecture at the Univ. of Washington
and write
a ~ 200 word paper.
About 100 words summary and 100 words response.
Make sure you write the name of the lecture, and the date of the
lecture on your paper.
Use this template for your write-up.
This time I let you chose your own topic. Go to any UW
department website and look for events / seminars / lectures.
One place to start is the Program
on the Environment calendar.
Town Hall
Seattle Science Lectures [Downtown, co-sponsored by the UW, $ 5 :( ]
(warning: departmental seminars (e.g. analytical chemistry seminar,
chemical oceanography seminar, etc.)
are intended for graduate students in that field and can be very
difficult to understand)
Science related lectures at other places (Seattle U,
SPU, etc.) are ok as well. If in doubt ask me.
Deadline for turning in EC papers: June 14th
I'd like to remind you about the academic honesty policy at this point.
Do not risk a loss of credit for 10 points!!!
May 10/11 INDIVIDUALLY WRITTEN, typed lab write-up
