HONORS MYP CHEMISTRYCourse Syllabus Teacher: Ms.Bhalla Phone: 266-5240 Ext: 256E-mail: Planning: 2A and 4B Welcome to the Middle Years Program! This exciting program provides a framework of academic challenge that encourages students to understand and make connections between traditional subjects and the real world. Throughout their academic career here at Annapolis High School, students develop the skills in the IB learner profile and become familiar with the IB MYP Areas of Interaction.Course OverviewIn chemistry, students develop the ability to use scientific skills and processes to explain the composition and interactions of matter. Students use mathematics to predict and analyze the outcomes of chemical reactions and the interactions of matter and energy. Science skills and processes learned in this course build on those developed in biology and prepare students for continued development of scientific inquiry in other science disciplines.

Materials needed daily1. Text: Prentice Hall Chemistry 4. Calculator - inexpensive2. Interactive Science Notebook5. Pencils with erasers, Pens)3. Glue stick (for use with notebook)6. Highlighter (for use with notebook)AssessmentsStudents will be informally assessed throughout each unit, and formally assessed at the end of units. In Chemistry, students are assessed using the following criteria: Scientific inquiry, Processing data, Knowledge and understanding of science, Attitudes in science, One world, Communication in science. Assessments will include exam, lab investigation, and research paper. EvaluationStudents will be graded on a total points system. 5% of the grade will consist of homework and the other 95% of the grade will be comprised of lab reports, tests, quizzes, class assignments and project completion, etc. Academic IntegrityTo be a successful MYP student, a student needs to demonstrate academic integrity by adhering to the Honor Code. The IB Organization defines malpractice as “behavior that results in, or may result in, the candidate gaining an unfair advantage and includes:· Plagiarism the representation of the ideas or work of another person as the candidates own· Collusion the supporting of malpractice by another candidate, as allowing ones work to be copied or submitted for another· Duplication of work the presentation of the same work for different assignments· Other includeso taking unauthorized materials into an exam or other assessment situationo engaging in misconduct during an exam or other assessment situationo falsifying any recordso copying, paraphrasing, reusing or submitting anothers work without acknowledging the source, including information from the Interneto receiving or giving unauthorized assistance on any form of academic work.Seriousness of PurposeTo be a successful MYP student, a student also needs to demonstrate seriousness of purpose. This includes:· Having excellent class attendance, being punctual to class and avoiding the use of class time from one subject to finish the work in another subject· Doing all assigned work completely and punctually · Attending support initiatives such as Help Day and periodical workshops on time management, study skills and exam stress management· Asking for help when needed, not after grades are issuedGrading Procedure1. % grade = total points earned X 100 total points possible2. Make-up work: It is the students responsibility to get notes, drills, and closures from another student or from the teacher and to request specific handouts from the teacher. 3. Late Work: Because chemistry units build on each other, completing all work on time is important for student success. “On time means the beginning of class the day the assignment is due. Students may submit assignments at the beginning of class following the due date for full credit. If work is more than one class late, students must complete work after school with the teacher. In order for students to have the necessary background knowledge and to concentrate on the current unit, all late work will be completed by the first day of a new unit. The expectation is that students submit all work on time; chronic submission of late work could result in loss of this privilege. 4. Redoing Assessments: Students who satisfactorily complete classwork, and submit timely and satisfactory notebooks and homework may redo a test or lab on the Wednesday following return of the assessment. Sign-up is required by the class following return of the assessment to enable time for student remediation and teacher preparation. AACPS benchmarks and IB MYP Assessments are not eligible as redo assignments. The expectation is that students succeed on assessments the first time; chronic redoing of assessments could result in loss of this privilege.5. Extension: Students who satisfactorily complete classwork, submit satisfactory notebooks and homework, and take all tests have the opportunity for extension. Students read a ChemMatters article (found in media) or other chemistry article and submit a paper following the specified format. Extension may only be submitted at the beginning of class on the last class of each week. Weekly extension opportunities are not eligible as late work or redos.6. Attendance: Absences affect student success because students miss course content Behavior Expectations for respect of self, others, learning, and property 1. Participate! a. Chemistry is not a spectator sport! b. Use only chemistry materials in class.2. Be Prepared! a. Take care of personal business before or after class. b. Ask for a pass only in case of emergency.3. Follow School Rules! a. Keep food, drink, and electronic devices out of class. b. Be on task before tardy bell rings and until dismissal. c. Treat fellow students and teacher respectfully. Special Requirements1. Students are expected to read the textbook, some sections more than once. This, combined with active student participation in class, keeps the responsibility of learning the material on the students. 2. Plan to form study groups of about 3 or 4 people. This will make your academic pursuit more successful and more enjoyable. You will learn as much from each other as you will from the teacher. 3. You need to make yourself into a student of chemistry. You will not succeed as a passive receptacle, waiting for the teacher to put things in your brain. You need to decide that you will study and master this material. I will do all I can to help you.* For your own safety, touch lab materials only when and how instructed to do so. * Teacher signature: _ Honors MYP Chemistry Course SyllabusI have read, understand, and agree to abide by the expectations in Ms. Bhallas Honors MYP Chemistry syllabus.Student Name_ Class Period_Signature_ Date_Parent/Guardian Name_ Phone numbers _ Email _Signature_ Date_
