Pre AP Chemistry Syllabus R. Oliver, Instructor Email: oliver.russell@muscogee.k12.ga.us Welcome to chemistry, the study of matter and the interaction of matter. Chemistry explains why you are alive as you sit in your chair, how your chair was made, and even how you get to school each day. In short, chemistry explains.almost everything! My goal is to ensure that you learn not only the Georgia Performance Standards and become a better science student, but learn other skills as well to make you a better student overall. Rules My classroom policies are as follows: all MCSD and CHS rules apply in my classroom. You have been given copies of these and are expected to follow them. Failure to do so will result in the appropriate consequence(s) as outlined in you student handbook. Additionally, the following rules apply in my classroom. Noncompliance will result in assignment to central detention. 1. Treat me, guests to the room, and the other students in the class with respect. Treat others the way that YOU want to be treated. 2. Do not put any papers in your textbook. 3. Your head should never touch your desk. Even after exams, you are expected to have a book to read or will have an assignment to begin. 4. I have a NO TOLERANCE policy for any misbehavior during labs. There is the possibility of serious injury to yourself or others during some of the labs that you will be participating in. ANY violation of this will result in a grade of 0 for the lab. You are expected to report ANY injuries immediately to me. 5. Do not be late for my class. Another teacher does not have the authority to keep you without my approval IN ADVANCE. 6. Be ready to begin when the bell rings. On most days, that means having your textbook open to correlate with the day s topic, paper and pen ready to take / work examples, and your calculator ready to operate. 7. Do not get up in the middle of class to throw things away, staple papers, etc. Wait until the end of class to do these tasks or anything else that disrupts the class.
Preparedness The following will need to be brought to class every day. Not having any of the following at any time on any day during the semester will result in a 0 homework assignment and a detention. You will not be allowed to leave class to get them. They must be in your possession when you arrive for class. 1. textbook 2. notebook with this syllabus, all assignments,, and handouts 3. TI-83 or TI-84 calculator 4. book or novel for reading enjoyment, updated on the class list 5. any homework assignment 6. preparedness for a quiz on previously covered material You will not have a new homework assignment for this class every night. Whether you do or not, it is understood that you should be re-writing your for the current unit and re-working example problems from class. This is required to keep up with the material and pace for this class. Additionally, assignments and other information about the class will be on the Edmodo web site. These will be posted by 4:00 on those days. It is your responsibility to check the web site daily after 4:00 in time to complete any assignment that may be due the next day. Grades I assign grades on a point system. Your grade is calculated by dividing the total points that you have earned by the total possible. I have planned for the following (estimated) grade weights: Exams 30% Labs 20% Homework 20% Quizzes 10% Final Exam (2 nd 9 Weeks) 20% All assignments will not necessarily count for a grade, but all assignments are to be completed to the best of your ability. The grade you earn for an assignment is based on your valid attempt at all problems assigned. Not completing every problem on a given assignment will be a zero grade for that assignment. I do not accept late work. If you do not have the assignment on the day it is due, you will receive a grade of 0 for that assignment. Homework that is assigned is to be completed at home. Any
assignment being finished once you enter the school will be considered incomplete and you will receive a 0 for that assignment if it is graded. Cheating Policy All assignments other than exams and labs are given with the expectation that you will work on them as individuals, but that some collaboration and generation of SIMILAR answers is expected. However, turning in an exact assignment (save for a name change) as another will be treated as cheating. ANY cheating will be dealt with a NO TOLERANCE policy. Cheating on an exam or lab will result in a 0, NO EXCEPTIONS. Finally Students are expected to keep up with the material for this class. If the student is having trouble with a concept and needs extra help, it is the student s responsibility to ask for help. If a student does not ask questions, then I can only assume that they understand what is being taught and that they are ready to move to the next topic. Georgia Performance Content Standards - Chemistry SC1 Students will analyze the nature of matter and its classifications. a. Relate the role of nuclear fusion in producing essentially all elements heavier than helium. b. Identify substances based on chemical and physical properties. c. Predict formulas for stable ionic compounds (binary and tertiary) based on balance of charges. d. Use IUPAC nomenclature for both chemical names and formulas: Ionic compounds (binary and tertiary) Covalent compounds (binary and tertiary) Acidic compounds (binary and tertiary) SC2 Students will relate how the Law of Conservation of Matter is used to determine chemical composition in compounds and chemical reactions. a. Identify and balance the following types of chemical equations: Synthesis
Decomposition Single Replacement Double Replacement Combustion b. Experimentally determine indicators of a chemical reaction specifically precipitation, gas evolution, water production, and changes in energy to the system. c. Apply concepts of the mole and Avogadro s number to conceptualize and calculate Empirical/molecular formulas, Mass, moles and molecules relationships Molar volumes of gases. d. Identify and solve different types of stoichiometry problems, specifically relating mass to moles and mass to mass. e. Demonstrate the conceptual principle of limiting reactants. f. Explain the role of equilibrium in chemical reactions. SC3 Students will use the modern atomic theory to explain the characteristics of atoms. a. Discriminate between the relative size, charge, and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. b. Use the orbital configuration of neutral atoms to explain its effect on the atom s chemical properties. c. Explain the relationship of the proton number to the element s identity. d. Explain the relationship of isotopes to the relative abundance of atoms of a particular element. e. Compare and contrast types of chemical bonds (i.e. ionic, covalent). f. Relate light emission and the movement of electrons to element identification. SC4. Students will use the organization of the Periodic Table to predict properties of elements. a. Use the Periodic Table to predict periodic trends including atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity of various elements. b. Compare and contrast trends in the chemical and physical properties of elements and their placement on the Periodic Table.
SC5. Students will understand that the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs can be affected by changing concentration, temperature, or pressure and the addition of a catalyst. a. Demonstrate the effects of changing concentration, temperature, and pressure on chemical reactions. b. Investigate the effects of a catalyst on chemical reactions and apply it to everyday examples. c. Explain the role of activation energy and degree of randomness in chemical reactions. SC6. Students will understand the effects motion of atoms and molecules in chemical and physical processes. a. Compare and contrast atomic/molecular motion in solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas. b. Collect data and calculate the amount of heat given off or taken in by chemical or physical processes. c. Analyzing (both conceptually and quantitatively) flow of energy during change of state (phase). SC7. Students will characterize the properties that describe solutions and the nature of acids and bases. a. Explain the process of dissolving in terms of solute/solvent interactions: Observe factors that effect the rate at which a solute dissolves in a specific solvent, Express concentrations as molarities, Prepare and properly label solutions of specified molar concentration, Relate molality to colligative properties. b. Compare, contrast, and evaluate the nature of acids and bases: Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry Acid/Bases Strong vs. weak acids/bases in terms of percent dissociation Hydronium ion concentration ph Acid-Base neutralization Following is a tentative pacing guide for this course. It is subject to change as deemed necessary by the instructor.
