Course Organizer The This Course: Chemistry I Course Questions: Teacher: Deskins Period: The Course Organizer Student: Course Dates: August 2018 – June 2019 This Course: Course Questions: is about COURSE STANDARDS: Chemistry I the study of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes 1) Explain how chemists evaluate experimental error. 2) Predict how chemical bonding and periodicity will be affected by atomic structure. 3) Justify the reason for writing balanced chemical equations. 4) Apply mole relationships in solving stoichiometry problems. 5) Examine and evaluate the factors that determine if something is a solid, liquid, or a gas. 6) Predict how conditions of pressure, volume, and temperature will affect gases. 7) Predict how concentration changes will change the properties of a solution. 8) Assess the energy changes involved in chemical and physical changes. 9) Evaluate the influence of entropy, enthalpy, kinetics, and equilibrium on properties of chemical reactions. What? How? Value? CONTENT: Tests (on Concepts/Problems) 3 Chapter Tests 3/6 Six Weeks Test 1/6 PROCESS: Daily Averages (Homework/Classwork/ Labs) 1st half of Six Weeks 1/6 2nd half of Six Weeks 1/6 Homework/Classwork/Labs: These assignments will count towards your Daily Average. Most will be worth 10 points. Longer assignments and lab reports will be worth more than 10. You can expect between 150 and 200 total possible points each half of the Six-Weeks – your number of points earned will then be converted to a percent. Make-up work:  When I check everyone else’s current homework assignment, I will check the last assignment you were given before your absence. But, make sure that you get your make-up work done before we have a test on the material.  Tests must be made up outside of class as soon as reasonable. You will not be allowed to make up tests without direct supervision.

Big Ideas (Critical Concepts) Course Map This Course: Chemistry I Student : includes Community Principles Performance Options Learning Rituals * Course Organizer, Unit Organizer, & FRAMEs * Lab Activities – individual or group write-ups * Start homework in class so that you can get help * Correct, review, and keep old tests in an organized notebook * Keep homework, class notes, and other hand-outs in the organized notebook = 3-ring binder * Help with calculator use * Peer tutoring * Work w/ partner or in a small group on classwork and homework * “Do-over” grade for ONE Chapter Test each six weeks from Six Weeks Test Section Score The class rule: Only sit in the seat of a desk (not on the desktop and never on a lab table). 2) Follow correct procedures, especially those regarding lab safety.
