Chemistry Binder Log

Second Semester - Fourth Quarter

Important:
This binder log is subject to adaptation.
Keeping a binder is mandatory for our class, but turning it in for points is optional.
A log sheet is mandatory. You may downolad or print this log sheet or copy this on paper. The log sheet may not print completely with some browsers. Check your printed copy.

Dates are subject to adjustment and changes.
This is not a cumulative list all year, as only key assignments are retained for the new quarter. Students may keep older unlisted items in another place if desired.
Assignments with points can be found in the online gradebook.
Assignments marked "NA" count for points toward the binder grade only.
An "NA" assignment must be completed for the page to earn any points.

Items listed in boldface must remain in the binder for the entire school year.
