The contents of these pages are neither the responsibility of El Diamante High School nor Visalia Unified School District. None-the-less, I believe that the contents are appropriate for general consumption, as are the links contained within. Feel free to look around. Students and teachers may print, or download and use any materials that you find helpful. ***I do not distribute the original, editable files to students or teachers, and I DO NOT answer homework questions from students other than those I have in class - Sorry!

The Chemistry Page will give first year chemistry students access to all of the notes, worksheets, labs, Powerpoints and other important documents for my General Chemistry classes. You may also access your current grades, a current Course Calendar, as well as links to free chemistry software. Interactive review activities for important concepts, organized by units, are provided to help the student prepare for important benchmarks and tests.

BIOLOGY! For the first time in many years, I will be teaching a section of biology. This returns me to my roots, since my degree is in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The Biology Page will give my students access to the current grades, a current Course Calendar, and other academic resources for the course. Interactive review activities will be added for the biology standards in order to help the student prepare for important benchmarks and tests.

AP Chemistry IS NOT being taught at El Diamante during the 2008 - 2009 academic year. The enrollment was insufficient to jusify placing the class on the schedule. None-the-less I will continue to make available my resources on the AP Chemistry Page, including my course notes for the class, Powerpoints, interactive practice activities, and programs for the TI-83plus graphing calculator.
