Cormier, G. "Chapter 0: Significant Figures and Uncertainty", Class notes. 2012.
The notes taken during class were very helpful and easy to understand. It had exact information needed for the younger
grades to put their head around. It contains the basic ideas of what significant figures and uncertainty are. The examples
are provided which makes things easier to understand. Class notes are easier to read than those online.
Cormier, G. "Motion and Forces", Class notes. 2012. http://cormierscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/1/5/12155919/notes_motion_forces_ast_2012.pdf
The class notes were very useful because it contained all the basic information needed. The notes were not that hard
understand, it was pretty straight forward. The notes may look familiar to the grade 10 students because they may have
taken them during class, especially if they have Ms. Cormier.

http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Inorganic_Chemistry/Reactions_in_Aqueous_Solutions/Precipitation_Reactions
This website gave a lot of details on precipitation reactions, as well as precipitates and net ionic equations. It had the steps
to doing a net ionic equation. It explained in details the properties of a precipitate and a double displacement. It also
contained examples and practice questions. It was well written and highly organized.
McRae, D. "Writing Net Ionic Equations". Class notes. 2012.
The notes on writing net ionic equations were quite solid. It explained what a strong acid, a strong base and ionic
compounds are. It also contained examples and equations. The notes are pretty straight forward, which made them easy
to understand.
"Chemical Nomenclature." The Chem Team. N.p., n.d. Web. <http://chemteam.info/Nomenclature/Nomenclature.html>.
This site was very useful because it clearly explained the steps needed to figure out exactly how to do nomenclature. It also gave practice problems and their answers after each little section, so that you can learn it, practice it, and get it perfect before you continue onto the next part. The only part that would be bad about this is that it's very long, and can lose the interest of people reading it. However, all the information is needed to know how to do it properly, and it's explained very clearly.
"Stoichiometry." The Chem Team. N.p., n.d. Web. <http://chemteam.info/Stoichiometry/Stoichiometry.html>.
This site was extremely helpful because it gave detailed steps of how to do every step to find the answer. It gave a sufficient amount of practice problems so that you'd get every different problem you can do with stoichiometry. It covered everything that we need to know in class and it's very useful for even if you want extra practice problems that we didn't put on here, just go to the site, and there will be more links to do more problems if they feel like they didn't have enough practice.
Tuckerman, Mark E. "Methods of Balancing Chemical Equations." NYU.edu. New York University, 3 Sept. 2011. Web.
This website was helpful in offering a basic example of how to balance by inspection. From this website I took the example of balancing the equation: Ammonium nitrate decomposing into nitrous oxide and water. The balancing was simple and offered a reminder about where to put a coefficient.
"Balancing Chemical Equations." Germanna.edu. Germanna Community College Tutoring Services, n.d. Web. <http://www.germanna.edu/tutor/Handouts/Chemistry/Balancing_Chemical_Equations.pdf>
This website probably had the most helpful and descriptive information on balancing chemical equations. It is done by a college’s tutoring services and explains pretty much everything you would need to know about balancing chemical reactions in understandable terms. It starts off with an easy equation, moves onto an equation with diatomic ions, followed by an equation where you need to use a fraction, and then finishes with a long list of practice problems and answers.
Bishop, Mark. "Balancing Chemical Equations." Prepatorychemistry.com. Chiral Publishing, 2010. Web. <http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Balancing_Equations_help.htm>
This source was useful because it describes some helpful general steps to remember when balancing chemical equations. It gives a brief description how to go about balancing a typical chemical equation and several strategies to make it easier.
"ChemTeam: Stoichiometry: Limiting Reagent." ChemTeam: Stoichiometry: Limiting Reagent. N.p., n.d. Web. <http://chemteam.info/Stoichiometry/Limiting-Reagent.html>.
This website was an excellent source mainly on limiting reagents, but also on stoichiometry. It defines what a limiting reagent is and also what an “excess” value is. It gives a good introductory problem about what a limiting reagent is, how to find the limiting reagent and the excess, and then provides four limiting reagent problems with good descriptive answers on how they found the limiting reagent.
Ladon, L. "Limiting Reagent." Limiting Reagent Problems. N.p., 2001. Web. <http://pages.towson.edu/ladon/limreas.html>.
This source was similar to the limiting reagent source by “ChemTeam: Stoichiometry: Limiting Reagent.” This source was shorter. It only gives one problem involving a limiting reagent. However, it describes how to find the limiting reagent very well. It shows how to get the percent yield and theoretical yield in the problem too.
"Limiting Reagents." UCDavis Chem Wiki. UC Davis, 31 Oct. 2011. Web. <http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Analytical_Chemistry/Chemical_Reactions/Limiting_Reagents#Introduction>.
This web page was a good source of info on limiting reagents because it provided a good introduction to explain what a limiting reagent is. The other reason it was very helpful was because it gave two different formulas on how to find the limiting reagent, and then it used both formulas to solve several problems. It walks you through each individual step as it is performed until the limiting reagent is found.
