Overview:
This course is designed to provide an understanding of the major principles and concepts of chemistry. Topics
will include:
Atomic Structure
Chemical Names and Formulas
Chemical Bonding
Chemical Reactions
VSEPR Theory
Periodicity
Acid-Base Chemistry
Behavior of Gases
Nuclear Chemistry
The Mole and Stoichiometry
The nature of chemistry requires the student to know certain basic facts that must be committed to memory.
Mathematics is an integral part of this class. Problem-solving strategies will be stressed throughout the year and
this course also requires the Student be able to solve problems with or without a calculator.

Course Expectations:
1. All students are expected to keep their Chemistry Notebook organized and kept up to date with notes
and assignments. Notebooks will be checked without prior announcements. Bring notebooks to class
every day.
2. Daily work and homework are kept on a Stamp Sheet, which will be collected every two weeks.
Students are expected to attempt all assigned work.
3. Labs are very serious and each student is expected to follow the Laboratory Safety policies given out on
the first week of class. Failure to do so will result in the removal of the student from the lab area and
alternative written work will be assigned for the remainder of the semester for each laboratory
investigation.
4. Calculator us is a privilege, not a right. Using a calculator to cheat will result in the loss of the
calculator privilege.

Tutorials:
I will have tutoring before and after school by appointment. Students may seek assistance from other chemistry
teachers when I am not available.

Retests:
Any Student needing to retake a test or redo an assignment MUST attend a tutoring session. This must be done
in a timely manner. You have ONE WEEK from the time you receive the assignment back to attend a session
and retake it. You will only be able to retake the test up to an 85.

Absences/Late Work:
Students who are absent are allowed to turn in assignment for however many days they are absent. For
example, if a student is absent 2 days, he/she will be allowed to turn in work for full credit two days later.
Formative Assignments will NOT be accepted late (unless absent) nor will they be allowed to be made up.
Summative Assignments that are turned in late have until one week from due date for up to an 85.

Academic Dishonesty:
In this class, CHEATING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Even if you are working together in a group setting,
each individual is required to create his/her own conclusion and answers. Identical papers or portions of papers
will result in a ZERO for BOTH parties. DO NOT COPY others' work. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO
COPY your work.
