Chemistry 20 Outcomes:

Students will describe and explain the structure, bonding and properties of ionic compounds.

Students will describe and explain the structure, bonding and properties of molecular substances.

 Students will describe and investigate solutions based on physical and chemical properties.

Students will describe and investigate solutions of acids and bases both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Students will explain how balanced chemical equations indicate the quantitative relationships between reactants and products involved in chemical changes and use predict quantities of each.

Classroom Expectations:
Students are expected to come to class on time and prepared for each class. Students are expected to attend and participate in class to be successful in this course. The pace of the course is very fast therefore absences will decrease the likelihood of success. If a student must be absent from class, it is the students responsibility to make up missed work and get any notes or handouts that were given that day. Students must be responsible for their own learning and if they are having difficulty with a topic, should seek extra help during GLT time. If a student misses a quiz or exam, parental contact is required in order to be allowed to write the missed assessment. Assignments and labs will assigned throughout the course and are to be handed at the beginning of class on the date they are due. There will be a appropriate grace period following a due date that a student may hand in assignments or labs without penalty. After that time marks may be deducted for each day the assignment is late, to a MAXIMUM of 50%.
If an assignment has been marked and returned, the maximum penalty may be assessed to the student. This is an academic course that will require approximately 30 minutes of homework a night, but as all students are different this may be more or less. Students that complete the days tasks before class is over are expected to review their notes or read. This classroom is a place of learning and no student behaviour that disrupts the learning of others will not be tolerated. First offences will have a student/teacher conference. Second offences will have a phone call made to parents/guardians. Repeat offences or serious offences will be taken to administration. Corrections to assignments will be accepted for 2 days following the return of an assignment for marks. Re-writes for assessment will be permitted, when the student has shown some evidence of re-learning the topic. Chemistry labs must be completed in a safe manner. Any student that is not following proper safety procedures will not be allowed to complete the lab. All school policies apply. Any student that has questions or concerns regarding these expectations should direct them to the teacher. It is the teacher’s responsibility to provide a safe and engaging learning environment for students to acquire the knowledge and skills of this course. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you achieve success in this course.
