    Chemistry

    Instructor: Melanie Roberts, Scienceisamaze.weebly.com


    melanie.roberts@thalesacademy.org
    Course Description: In this course we will study matter and the changes it
    can undergo, which is chemistry! We will use different investigative techniques to
    study the properties of matter and how it can change. We will also explore some
    micro chemistry and elemental interactions.
    Labs: This is a very lab intensive course. To effectively study chemistry we will
    recreate many of the interactions that we study. Labs are a major portion of the
    grade and must be submitted in a particular format, which we will review in class.
    Examples will be available on the class page on my website.
    Grading Criteria: Grading will be based on the following types of
    assessments.
    % of Grade Assessment Type and Description
    40% Tests/Projects
    10% Quizzes
    40% Labs
    10% Homework, In-Class Activities

    Homework: Homework will be posted on RenWeb and on the classroom white
    board, in addition to being announced in class daily. Homework will be checked
    and graded for both completion and accuracy.

    Bonus Assignments: A weekly bonus assignment will be posted to the class
    website. This may be completed to replace one low homework grade a week.
    There will be no penalty if the assignment is not completed.

    Cheating and/or Plagiarism: Cheating and Plagiarism of any kind will not
    be tolerated. Per school policy, the first incidence of cheating will result in an
    automatic grade of zero on the assignment/project/test. In addition, any
    communication (either verbal or non-verbal) during an individual assessment
    constitutes cheating and will result in an immediate zero. Any further incidences
    of cheating will result in immediate suspension from school.

    Make-Up Work/Late Work:
    Make-Up Work: Per school policy, students who are absent will have one
    school day for every day out of school to make up work.
    Late Work: Per school policy, work turned in one day late will receive a
    maximum grade of an 80%. Work turned in two days late or more will receive a
    maximum grade of a 50%. Students have three (3) school days from the due date
    of an assignment to turn it in for credit. After three days it will become a
    permanent zero.

    Extra Credit Policy: Per school policy, extra credit assignments may be
    offered at the teachers discretion.

    Class Participation: Class participation is defined as the active engagement
    of the student at all times throughout the lesson. Active engagement involves
    paying attention to teacher directed instruction, sharing thoughtful ideas,
    listening respectfully to classmates as they share ideas, working constructively
    within the classroom, as well as other means. Students are expected to be
    present and active within all classroom activities every day.
    Classroom Rules & Expectations:
    1. Students will come to class prepared with all materials and in dress code.
    2. Homework will be turned in upon entering.
    3. Be respectful to the teacher and one another.
    4. Follow directions the first time they are given.
