Science - Accelerated Chemistry

District Course #1235

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. Strongly recommended for the college-bound student.

Adopted Materials

Title: Modern Chemistry
Authors: Davis et.al.
Publisher: Holt, Reinehart, and Winston

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.
