District Course #1253 |
Course Description
Open to: Grades 10, 11, 12 One Year Course
Prerequisite: "B" Average in Algebra 2 or "B"
average in Geometry and instructor's approval
Content: Students will study motion and forces that produce motion,
heat and energy, sound, light and electricity. Strongly recommended
for the college-bound student.
Adopted Materials
Title: Conceptual Physics
Author:Hewitt
Publisher:Addison Wesley, Longman
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.
