Course Description
Open to: Grade 11, 12 One Year Course
Prerequisite: "C" or better in Algebra 1
Content: Recommended for the college-bound student.
Students will study matter and the changes it undergoes,
learning the structure of atoms and molecules, elements,
compounds, and mixtures. Also included will be why
chemical reactions occur and how to control them. The
instructional approach emphasizes the concepts of chemistry.
This course is strongly recommended for the college-bound
student.

Grades
The grade that a student receives in this course will
be a reflection of how the student has performed in
three main areas; the assimilation of content, the
acquisition of performance skills, and the knowledge
gained from homework. The course grade will be calculated
from scores obtained on unit tests, projects and activities
(labs, model building, reports, etc.), homework, and
a semester final. Progress reports should provide the
student and parents with information (average grades
or percentages) in three main areas: unit tests, projects/activities,
and homework completed.
The Final is also the End of Course Exam (EOC), which
will count as 10% of the student’s final grade
and determine whether or not the student has met the
State Standards in Science for this particular course.
The science curriculum supervisor discourages the use
of notes, note cards, or books when taking a unit test.
Students will not be allowed to use these items on
the Final Exam.
