Chemistry Class Syllabus

Transcription

1 paper; scientific calculator; large old t-shirt or lab apron (Nature's Workshop $6.80) to protect clothing. Homework: You are expected to have read the material and done the homework prior to each class. This will enable you to come prepared with questions about the material and be ready to discuss it. For each Module, you will complete the reading, On Your Own (OYO) Exercises, Review and Practice Problems, lab reports, and tests at home. You are responsible for making sure you understand the homework. Help sessions are available. I will answers, so you do not have to have the solutions manual. In addition, we will review many of the OYOs, Review Questions and Practice Problems in class. Work to be turned in is preceded by an asterisk (*). Exams will be written by me and ed to you one week before the due date. Extra credit opportunities will be given throughout the semester. These will boost your grades, but please get your required work done first! Please keep all of your work on loose leaf paper organized in a 3-ring binder, so you will be able to turn in any work requested without having to give me your entire notebook. Please note the work you must do on Module ONE prior to the first day of class. 1 8/21/2012 Module ONE Read pages i-xii & Module One Complete all On Your Own questions in a notebook.

12 Dr. Runkle Welcome to the study of God s creation through Chemistry! I am very excited about this class and the opportunities we will have to learn together through classes and experiments. Below, I have outlined a few requirements, which will help make our class successful. Please review carefully and sign. I. Text: Apologia Exploring Creation with Chemistry 2 nd Edition II. III. IV. Attendance and Tardy Policy As we will meet only one day per week, promptness and attendance are important. We only have 120 minutes each session, so it is vital that we be able to start on time without the distraction of latecomers. The students rely on their lab partners to help them with experiments, so it is very important that students attend every class, unless they are ill. In the case of an absence, it is the student s responsibility to request and turn in required work (homework, lab reports, tests etc.) the following class session. If a lab cannot be made up at home, an alternate assignment will be given. Points will be deducted for late assignments unless the absence is excused. A parent must send me an request in order for an absence to be excused. Preparation Students will come to class having completed all assigned work (reading and written work). We will go over Review Questions and Practice Problems in class; however, parents are responsible for ensuring that the students have done and understood the homework. Grades Grades will be derived from homework, tests, labs, projects, and participation. The following will be the grading scale: A = D = B = F = 64 and below C = Tests will count 60%; Lab reports 40%. I will not be grading homework. Tests are to be proctored by a parent. The parent will sign off on the tests to indicate that they were taken without help and with closed book and closed notes. Extra credit will be given at instructor s discretion for work above and beyond, participation and for other outlined instances. V. Notebook A three-ring loose-leaf binder should be kept for all written work. This will include notes, module reviews, tests, and other paperwork as instructed. Throughout the year, there may be surprise notebook checks. VI. VII. Lab Notebook Section A lab notebook section will be kept of all experiments performed. The lab report needs to be completed on paper that can be hole-punched and put in the loose-leaf notebook. The lab report must be completed in the proper format, as shown on the next page. It may be typed or handwritten, as long as it is legible. Glassware The glassware we use for labs is valuable. The student is responsible for paying for any glassware he or she breaks. Students and parents, please feel free to contact me by jane.runkle@travis.org with questions, comments, feedback, etc. My goal for this class is to share God s wonderful creation with each of you, so you can see how much you are loved by our awesome Father and be inspired by His amazing creation! Student Signature Parent Signature Students, turn this in on the first day of class and receive extra credit points for your first assignment!

13 The following is the format for writing lab reports. Lab reports may be typed or handwritten, but they must be legible, and they must follow this format. I will deduct points for incorrectly formatted lab reports. Experiment #: Experiment Title: Date: Lab Partners: Purpose: A short paragraph that explains the objectives or purpose of the lab. In one sentence, state your hypothesis. We will usually discuss the hypothesis in class, so please pay attention. Materials: List everything needed to complete your experiment. This is listed for you in the book, so all you need to do is copy. Procedure: Describe the steps you completed during your investigation. Be sufficiently detailed that anyone could read this section and duplicate your experiment. Write it as if you were giving direction for someone else to do the lab. You do not necessarily need to copy the entire procedure in the book, but you should include that much detail. In some cases, our procedure will deviate from that shown in the book. In that case, you must write the procedure you have actually followed. Include a figure to diagram your experimental setup. Data and Observations: Here you will include all measurements you made in the course of the experiment. Usually, you will write the data in a table format. For example, Data Table Mass of metal 58 g Mass of empty calorimeter 4 g Mass of full calorimeter 124 g No calculations may be done in this section. No calculated numbers may be shown in this section. Observations are simply what you saw when you did the experiment. It's just the facts, not any interpretation of what they mean. You should record, in paragraph form and with diagrams, anything you saw, felt or heard in the course of the experiment. For example, you may have observed that a beaker became warm during a reaction. Results and Calculations: Describe in words what the data and observations mean. Use complete sentences and write good paragraphs. Perform any needed calculations. Show the details of your calculations. Include graphs if applicable. For example, you may calculate from the data shown above, the mass of the water in the calorimeter. You would write: Mass of water in calorimeter = mass of full calorimeter mass of empty calorimeter = 124 g 4 g = 120 g. In explaining the example observation given above, you might say that the beaker became warm during the reaction because the reaction was exothermic. Analysis and Conclusion: In this section, you will further analyze your results. For example, if, in the Results section you wrote that a reaction was exothermic, in this section you might write about the reasons a reaction is exothermic. You might explain what is happening when bonds are broken and new bonds are formed. In this section, you will also note whether or not your hypothesis was correct. Next, you will describe sources of error, including any mistakes you might have made while conducting the investigation. Sources of error include more than just mistakes. They can also include the limitations of the measuring equipment used. Finally, you may wish to describe ways the study might have been improved. A lab report is an opportunity to show me what you ve learned. I give generous extra credit when they are written exceptionally well. The time put into them will be well spent.
