Pre AP Chemistry0481 C. Smith Fall 2014
Today’s goals: (teacher will pass out blank cornell notes template) I will learn and apply all classroom expectations. I will learn to use Cornell notes to outline key expectations. I will know I have completed this task when I have created clear, concise Cornell notes that display that I have a clear understanding of the classroom expectations.
Class Expectations • 1.Follow all directions and instructions. • 2.Use appropriate behavior for the classroom. All school rules will be enforced in my classroom (no cheating, no eating, etc • 3.Ask permission before you borrow or touch someone else’s personal items. • 4.Accept correction without debate. We can discuss the issue after class. • 5.Accept “No” without debate. Again, we can discuss the issue after class. • 6.Your complete attention during lessons is ALWAYS POLITE.

Class Expectations • 7.Be in your seat and ready to work when the bell rings. • Attendance is done by seating chart.

Laboratory Reports • Chemistry is a laboratory science – Although most labs will be performed with a lab partner, each person is responsible for turning in his or her lab individual report. • Usually, a lab quiz or test will be used to evaluate your understanding of the lab. Your lab report will be used for reference to review before the quiz or test and will make up a portion of the lab grade. • Major Lab reports are an individual assignment. Lab reports which are identical between lab partners or other students will be viewed as cheating. • Lab conduct is taken very seriously and students misbehaving or horse playing in lab are subject to both a zero for the lab and an office referral.
Supplies • Textbook • Pen and Pencil • Notebook • Scientific Calculator (TI 30) • Payment for your Tablet computer must be made by September 13th • Tablets will be issued on September 16th
Tablets • Payment for your Tablet computer must be made by September 5th. • Tablets will be issued on September 8th • Tablet Camp will start on September 8th • Procedures will be done during Eagle’s nest • Tablet payment is $60.00 for the year ( 3 payments of $20.00 )

Daily Procedures • Warm-ups, Journal activities, and Assignments will be on the board or the overhead projector. • Write them in your notebook or a word document on your tablets. • Turn In Papers in the basket in front or to Ms. Smith.
Makeup Policy • If you miss a test or lab, you must schedule a time to make it up. There are schedule days that tests can be made up. You will receive a pass from me for the teacher that is in charge of the room. Labs are made up by appointment AFTER SCHOOL ONLY. • If you sign up to make up a lab and cannot attend, please let me or the other teachers know before the end of the school day. • Students who have the privilege of taking part in a school activity or trip during school time are expected to make up all work. Students who miss the day of review will be expected to take the test on their return. Make–up work not completed in the scheduled time will result in “0’s”.
RERUN – Reflection/Conclusion on a lab or activity as an exit ticket out, warm-up or interactive notebook • Recall:Summarize what you did. • Explain: What was the purpose? • Results: What results did you observe? • Uncertainties: What do you have questions about? • New: What are 2-3 new ideas you learned?
Test Days Science test days are Wednesday & Friday. Tests will be given more often on Friday. There will be a test given at 3 weeks and at the end of the 6 weeks. It is imperative that you review your daily instruction and prepare early for tests.
Retesting Policy • With the exception of the District Common Assessments and Benchmarks, the student must attend tutoring and do test corrections prior to retaking their test. The information tested will be the same information but the format will not be the same (short answer and solve the problem).
Tutorials & Course Syllabus Tutorials will be held every day between 2:30pm – 4:30pm The list of teachers and days they tutor can be found on the syllabus. Will be available on my Teacher website and on Blackboard.
