Chemistry Class Guidelines – Editable in PowerPoint & KeyNote

Chemistry Class Guidelines – Editable in PowerPoint & KeyNote

A clear and customizable set of rules to start your chemistry class off right 🧪📋

Whether you're starting with a new class, taking over a course mid-year, or simply want to reset expectations, having a set of clear, student-friendly guidelines can make a big difference. This editable resource gives you the flexibility to present your classroom rules in a structured, visually consistent format – while still adapting the content to your own teaching style.

The rules cover core areas of classroom life: from behavior during experiments to notebook organization and grading criteria. You can choose between 12 calming "boho" color themes or two clean black-and-white versions – depending on whether you want something simple, customizable, or a bit more colorful for student binders or digital notebooks.

What’s included:

• Editable PowerPoint and KeyNote files

• Non-editable PDF for quick printing

• 12 color themes + 2 black-and-white layouts

• Sections included:
  – Materials for class
  – Homework
  – Absences
  – Notebook organization
  – Classroom behavior
  – Experiments
  – Grading

How I use it in class:
I introduce these rules at the beginning of the term and give students a printed copy or add them to their digital notebooks (e.g. GoodNotes or Notability). Some even choose their favorite color version and use it as a cover page in their binder. We go over each rule together and I invite students to ask questions or offer suggestions, which helps build a shared understanding of expectations.

This isn’t a rigid rule sheet – it’s a flexible tool you can shape to fit your classroom. Whether you're teaching in a lab or more theory-based setting, it gives your students something they can refer back to all year long.

Just open, adjust, and you’re ready to go.
