  2. Schedule • 1st period Physical Science 8:45-9:37 2nd period Physical Science 9:42-10:32 3rd period Planning 10:37-11:27 4th period Chemistry 11:32-12:22 Lunch 12:22-12:58 5th period Planning 1:05-1:55 6th period Physical Science 2:00-2:50 7th period Physical Science 2:55-3:45

  3. Rules 1. Be respectful of others and their belongings 2. Always give your best effort 3. Do not talk out of turn 4. Stay seated until given instructions to move

  4. Consequences • First Time- Warning • Second Time- Lunch detention • Third Time- Phone call to parents • Fourth Time- Referral

  5. Materials Needed • Everyday Materials • Large 3 ring binder with 5 clearly labeled sections: Notes, Daily Grades, Quizzes and Labs. • Textbook • Pencils • Black or blue ink pen • Highlighters • Materials needed on occasion as instructed - Colored pencils (NOT markers, NOT crayons)

  6. Grading System • Test- 30% • Quizzes- 15% • Classroom assignment- 15% • Homework – 10% • Projects/Subject Reports/ Formal Lab reports- 30% • Semester grades are calculated as an average of the two quarterly grades. The final yearly grade is calculated accordance with district requirements as listed below. · 1st semester grade (40%) · 2nd semester grade (40%)

  7. Physical Science Course Description • Physical Science is essentially a survey of topics in Chemistry and Physics. Laboratory work, mathematical computations, and problem solving are essential parts of this course. Students in the course will be required to work with intensity, at a deeper level, and create evidence of the wide range of complex material they encounter and absorb. Students are required to take the end of course exam in May and which counts 20% of the final grade.

  8. Physical Science Course Outline • 1. Introduction to Physical Science    a. Classification of Matter        b. Laboratory Methods and Safety            c. The Nature of Science • 2. Matter    a. The Atom        b. The Elements • 3. Phases of Matter and Solutions • 4. Chemical Bonds and Reactions     a. Chemical Bonds        b. Chemical Reactions            c. Acids and Bases • 5.

Electricity        b. Magnetism and Its Uses            c. Nuclear Energy • 8. Wave Characteristics and Behavior    a. Waves        b. Sound            c. Electromagnetic

  9. Chemistry Course Description • This course is designed to help students to develop concept mastery, problem solving skills, and critical/creative thinking. Because chemistry is cumulative in nature, it is highly recommended that you complete every assignment in a timely and thorough manner. The typical chemistry student is required to be persistent and dedicated. Extra time must be allocated to study and review more difficult concepts.
