We are going to cover chemical reactions (chapters 7 and 8) before covering the MOLE unit (chapter 9). This is different than what is shown in the syllibus.

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.

Textbook: World of Chemistry, Zumdahl, 2007 Additional material, besides the textbook, will also be used.
The percentages will be: Labs 30%, Homework/class-work 25%, Tests 35% and the final 10%
SC1.b The learner will identify substances based on chemical and physical properties.
SC1.c The learner will predict formulas for stable ionic compounds (binary and tertiary) based on balance of charges.
SC3.f The learner will compare and contrast types of chemical bonds (i.e. ionic, covalent).
SC1.d The learner will use IUPAC nomenclature for transition between the chemical names and formulas of:
B. Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry 23% of grade
SC2 Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry The learner will assess how the Law of Conservation of Matter is used to determine chemical composition in compounds and chemical reactions.
SC2.a The learner will identify and balance the following types of chemical equations:
SC2.b Experimentally determine indicators of a chemical reaction specifically precipitation, gas evolution, water production, and changes in energy to the system.
SC2.c The learner will apply concepts of the mole and Avogadro's number to conceptualize and calculate:
SC2.d Identify and solve different types of stoichiometry problems, specifically relating mass to moles and mass to mass.
SC2.e Demonstrate the conceptual principle of limiting reactants.
C. Atomic Theory and Periodic Table 23% of grade
SC3 Atomic Theory The learner will evaluate the modern atomic theory.
SC3.a The learner will discriminate between the relative size, charge, and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom.
SC3.b The learner will use the orbital configuration of neutral atoms to explain its effect on the atom's chemical properties.
SC3.c The learner will explain the relationship of the proton number to the element's identity.
SC3.d The learner will relate the role of nuclear fusion in producing essentially all elements heavier that helium.
SC3.e The learner will explain the relationship of isotopes to the relative abundance of atoms of a particular element.
SC3.g The learner will relate light emission and the movement of electrons to element identification.
SC4 Periodic Table The learner will use the organization of the Periodic Table to predict properties of elements.
SC4.a The learner will use the Periodic Table to predict periodic trends including atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity of various elements.
SC4.b The learner will compare and contrast trends in the chemical and physical properties of elements and their placement on the Periodic Table.
D. Kinetics and Thermodynamics 12% of grade
SC5 Chemical Kinetics The learner will explain that the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs can be affected by changing concentration, temperature, or pressure and the addition of a catalyst.
SC5.a The learner will demonstrate the effects of changing concentration, temperature, and pressure on chemical reactions.
SC5.b The learner will investigate the effects of a catalyst on chemical reactions and apply it to everyday examples.
SC2.f Explain the role of equilibrium in chemical reactions
SC6 Chemical Thermodynamics The learner will assess the motion and behavior of atoms and molecules in chemical and physical processes.
SC6.a The learner will compare and contrast atomic/molecular motion in solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas.
SC6.b The learner will collect data and calculate the amount of heat given off or taken in by chemical or physical processes.
SC6.c Analyzing (both conceptually and quantitatively) flow of energy during change of state (phase).
E. Solutions, Acids and Bases 12% of grade
SC7 Solutions, Acids, & Bases The learner will evaluate properties that describe solutions and the behavior of acids and bases.
SC7.a The learner will explain solubility in terms of substances involved (i.e. solute, solvent) and the process of dissolving a solute by:
SC7.b The learner will compare, contrast, and evaluate the nature and behavior of acids and bases in terms of:
Final Exam 10% of grade
Notes on Grading:
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) 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
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.
