Making mistakes is a part of learning.  It is my goal to guide you through mistakes that  you can learn from and to help you avoid making bad choices.


                  Read (click here) on how a bad mistake turned into a great success.                        
Let these videos/ songs help reinforce learning.

Lab Safety Video
This video will help you remember all the lab safety rules and procedures.  Just ignore the "beep."
This is a good lecture on Photoelectric Spectrum (PES), a new topic on the revised AP curriculum (2013).
Is light a wave or a particle?
Einstein's photoelectric effect won him a Nobel Prize
.
Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment lead to the discovery of the nucleus of an atom.
    
      A Mole is a unit of the atom
Learning chemistry can be difficult because atoms are really, really, really tiny, yet so vast.  Understanding mole which quantifies an atom can bring some light into understanding chemistry better.
        A song on  Scientists who studied the atom.
             Classification of Matter Song
  Learn the 3 subatomic particles the gangsta way.
   A Love Story:  Types of Chemical Reactions
EM Spectrum Song      Infrared Theft
                                              Protection
Learn about VSEPR Theory and predict the shapes of the molecules.
Your knowledge of the EM Spectrum can protect you from harmful radiation and from ATM PIN or lock code theft.  "Knowledge is Power!"
