Search "molar mass calculator" on Google to find one of many Java applets that allow you to calculate molar mass. Or, download a very small and simple Windows executable from: http://www.chem4free.info/mcdalton/Great Pea Mole Analogy PPT Mr.Szerminski's YouTube Stoich Basics Video
Make sure you're logged in the Chrome Web Browser. Log into smcdsb.on.ca and link to the Google-Doc Stoich Spreadsheet. You'll only be able to "view" until you go to File -> Make a Copy. Share the copy with everyone in your group so you can edit from anywhere, including home.
Exam Review (handed out) -- answers at end of documentExcellent Simulations from PhET sometimes shown in class. Pretty Good CrashCourse Chemistry Videos on YouTube
