General  Chemistry             Fall  2011          Mr. Hawkins   Room 424                 

 

General chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and the study of all substances and the changes that they can undergo.  Our goals for this class are to provide the foundation for chemistry and to provide laboratory experiences. 

How to be successful in this class:

1)       Be organized   A notebook is essential for this class.

A)      You need a separate science notebook (any three ring binder will work)

B)      Every unit will have a listing of important concepts. This will go at the beginning of each unit.  These will be important when preparing for tests.

C)      Class-work and/or homework for each unit will be collected on the test day for each unit

2)       Participate   You must be present and participate in the class activities to succeed. 

A)      Each lab has two grades.  One grade is earned when you perform the lab.  If you missed class, you will not receive a performance grade unless you come in and do the lab after school.  The other grade is for the write-up.

B)      Warm-ups and daily activities are done every day.  You must be in class on-time every day to get the full points for these.

3)       Be prepared   Be on time every day.  Pay attention and take notes.  Bring your textbook, pen, pencil, notebook, calculator, and homework to class every day.  (You need to have your own calculator.)

4)        Be focused   Stay on task and get involved mentally.  Please join in class discussions.  Sometimes time is given to work on assignments that will be turned in the next day.  Do not waste this time – the teacher and other students can help you understand how to solve the problems.  This is not social time.

5)       Be conscientious           If you are absent; you must still do the work and learn the material.  Mr. Hawkins is available at special times for help if you ask.

6)       Be Positive   Science can be fun. If you try to like the subject, it will be easier for you and you will learn more.

Notes on Grading:

1. Each Unit is 1-2 weeks long.  Each unit will include class-work, labs and a test.  The tests will be entered separately in Pinnacle.  All other work for  the unit will be in the same section.  A schedule will be passed out when we begin the unit.  If you miss tests or labs, you will probably need to come in before or after school to make them up.
2. EXTRA HELP:  Some concepts will come more easily than others, and some students will have an easier time in general than others.  I want ALL students to be successful, which at times may require a little extra help.  I am always eager to help you outside of class.  I am available nearly every afternoon in room 424, and many mornings as well.  To ensure that I will be there, please set an appointment with me, but more than likely, if you just show up I will be there and be ready to help.  There is also help available in Learning Links (after school Tues. and Thurs.)

Class  Rules

1. You are expected to go directly to your assigned seat and begin working when you enter the room.  Class begins when you enter the room.  Do not wait for the teacher or the bell to begin class; you are to begin on the posted assignment.
2. Stay at your assigned seat or lab station for the entire period unless you have permission to move. Wait for the teacher to dismiss you at the end of class.
3. This is a lab class – No eating, drinking, or gum chewing in the classroom.  Only plain water is allowed and it must be kept in the desk area, not in the lab station area.

4.     Everyone will show common courtesy to others and their belongings. Disrespectful conduct/language is unacceptable. Do not disrupt others that are trying to learn.  All students have the right to learn and succeed.

5.     No hats worn in class. No music devices or cell phones can be used during class.  Your phone may not be used as a calculator – get a separate calculator if you need one.

6.     Please keep your area clean. There are trash cans available.

7.     All rules of safety will be followed at all times. Use common sense.

1. Do not play around with equipment, chemicals, or anything found on the tables.  You are not allowed to touch the water and gas jets unless directly told to as part of a lab activity.  The sinks are for water, not trash.  Do not write on the desks, tables, chairs, etc.
2. You are expected to go to the restroom between classes.  However, emergencies can arise.  If you need to leave the room to go to the restroom, you are allowed 3 free leaves per six weeks. These can be used to leave during class with the teacher's signature on the notecard.  Each leave should take no more than 3 minutes.  These are to use the restroom on the second floor of the science building.  Passes are not written to go to the vending machines.  No leaves are allowed in the first 15 or last 15 min. of the class. Anyone with detentions that have not been served will not be allowed to leave during class.

Consequences

1)       If you choose to violate the rules, you will be given a detention.  Detentions are served at 3:30 PM.  Failure to serve a detention will result in a referral to an administrator.

2)    Repeated inability to attempt to meet expectations may result in a write up and a call home to your parents

Late and Make Up Work

1)       At the beginning of each unit, you will be given a sheet that lists what you need to know by the end of the unit.  Homework will be checked daily and due dates for labs will be posted.  All work for the unit is due the day of the test.  If you are absent, you will need to catch up by the day of the test.

2)       If you were present on the day it was assigned, you are expected to turn it in the day you return.  If you are absent the day it is assigned, you are expected to get the assignment as soon as you return and submit it in a timely manner (For instance: one night assignments would be due the next day.)

3)       If you are in class the day a test or quiz is given, you are expected to take it.  (All assignments for the module are shown on the assignment sheet, so you should be prepared even if you have missed a day prior to the test.)

4)       Missed tests must be made up within 3 school days.  Normally these are made up after school.

5)       There is a cut-off date for each 6 week grading period.  NO make-up work for a grading period will be accepted after this cut-off date. 

6)       Labs are important – These are worth more points than other assignments.  If you miss a lab, you may need to do several other assignments to earn these points.

7)       Make-up tests may be different than those taken in class.

8)       You must bring a note when you are absent.  Then you must make up what you missed (The teacher will not continue to remind you) or receive a zero on that assignment.

9)       Alternative assignments may be given for missed work.  These may be different than what the rest of the class did.
