  1. Welcome to Chemistry ClassMs. Allan • Howard High • Back to School Night

  2. Course Overview: Unit Topics • Atomic structure • Bonding • Reactions • Stoichiometry • Gases • Acids & Bases • Equilibrium • Solutions • Organic

  3. Math Content • Chemistry is a math based subject • More than half of our class periods will involve some type of math calculation • Algebra skills are required for this class • Students should bring a calculator every day (I have basic function calculators)

  4. Chemistry is an assessed course… • Quarterly County Assessments are given on the topics covered during that quarter.

  5. County Assessments • The assessments during quarters 1 and 3 will be counted as an exam grade • The Qtr 2 exam is given during mid-terms • The Qtr 4 exam is given during finals

  6. What we do in class to prepare for assessments… • Sample questions from past exams as drills and wrap-up activities • After school study sessions for interested students

  7. What does a class look like? • Daily Procedures… • Drill: recaps previously learned information or activates prior knowledge on a new topic • Activity: self-guided activity, lab, class discussions, explanations • Wrap-up reviews the topics covered in the day’s lesson

  8. Homework • Written homework several times per week • I may grade every problem or I may only select a few from the assignment. • Homework should take approx. 15-20 min. (if your child becomes frustrated with the homework, please write a note on the homework paper)

  9. Homework Policy… • Follows Howard High’s homework policy… • Students have one day to turn in late work for ½ credit. No credit for any work turned in past that time. • Homework should be turned In at the beginning of class.

  10. Classwork Policy… • Students have one day to turn in late work for ½ credit. No credit for any work turned in past that time. • Classwork should be turned In at the beginning of class.

  11. Lab Work • Students must wear goggles in lab at all times and wear closed-toed shoes. • Your student’s safety is my first priority when we work in lab.

  12. Quizzes • Generally, quizzes are announced ahead of time • Studying for quizzes keeps students from “crash” studying the night before an exam

  13. Grading • 50% Assessments (exams, quizzes, projects) • 30% Labwork • 20% Homework/Classwork

  14. Times available to meet… • Before school and after school by appointment

  15. Science For Next Year • Before registration for next year, I will send home a recommendation for your child’s science class placement for the 2011-2012 school year • I highly recommend physics

  16. Science Options • Physics • AP Biology • AP Chemistry • AP Environmental Science • Marine Science • Anatomy and Physiology • Forensics

  17. Contact Information… • Rita_allan@hcpss.org • http://rallanwebpage.weebly.com/ • 410-313-2867 • Room B201

  18. THANK YOU FOR COMING PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SIGNED IN.
