ABOUT THE COURSE

Chemistry 30 is a rigorous science program designed for students with a strong aptitude and keen interest in mathematics applied to the world of chemistry and who are intending to pursue post-secondary studies in a science program. Students will develop skills in problem solving and understanding of technology as it affects everyday life and experiences.

The recommended prerequisites for Chemistry 30 are: 65% in Chemistry 20 and a Math 20 course.

Class Mark : Major Quizzes, Summative Assignments, and Unit Exams

Students will be required to complete all of these in order to have a term mark.

The key to success in Chemistry 30 is to have a good foundation in the basics of Chemistry 20. The first seven days are critical. Regular completion of homework exercises will reinforce the concepts learned. Homework will be checked on a regular basis. Work hard and have a good year!

The key to success in Chemistry is to have a good foundation in the basics studied in Science 10. The first two weeks are critical. If you are having difficulty you should get extra help. Ask for it.
You should bring a calculator everyday all year
If you are absent, CALL THE SCHOOL AND ASK FOR A HOMEWORK REQUEST FORM -(998-3751) OR EMAIL YOUR TEACHER http://www.ei.educ.ab.ca/sch/fhs/email.html
Regular completion of homework exercises will reinforce the concepts learned daily. Homework will be evaluated on a regular basis.
LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY: ALL SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS. LATE ASSIGNMENTS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME.
MISSED QUIZZES AND EXAMS ARE TO BE WRITTEN ON MAKE UP DAYS (EACH WEEK EITHER TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY AFTER SCHOOL 3:30 TO 5:00. SEE SCHEDULE). special consideration can be discussed due to long term health related absences

The key to success is not a secret: good attendance, working in class, and doing the homework. Work hard and have a good year!

Assessment:

The Elk Island Public School Assessment Policy requires that "teachers shall ensure ongoing, meaningful, consistent and accurate assessment for all students." The assessment policy requires that teachers provide three types of assessments: assessment as learning, assessment for learning (formative assessment) and assessment of learning (summative assessment).

Assessment "as" learning	Assessment "for" Learning	Assessment "of" Learning
Assessment "as" learning is using assessment activities to teach students how to self assess. Students begin to ask what did I do wrong and how can I improve future work?	Formative assessment is the on-going practice of no-risk activities. It is assessment FOR learning.	Summative assessment is the evidence we use to determine student achievement in relation to the curriculum outcomes. Summative assessments are used to determine students' grades.
Purpose of "As Learning" assessment: Teachers present a model so that students can use feedback to improve future learning. Students move towards independent assessment. Students become aware of their own learning strengths and needs to identify their own progress toward learning outcomes. Focus on student learning and self assessment/ reflection.	Purpose of "Formative" Assessment: Checks for learning to adjust instruction. Provides continual feedback. Focus on student improvement. Is not part of achievement grade. Is considered "risk-free".	Purpose of "Summative" Assessment: Compares a student's learning to learning outcomes from the program of studies. Reported as the achievement grade.
Pre-tests & Self- checks Anticipation guides Student initiative Reflection on learning	Homework Quizzes Labs	Unit Exams In class replacement Final Final exam
Students move towards taking responsibility for their own learning. These activities may occur prior to or in conjunction with learning, as well as following learning activities. Students will ask themselves what is it that I need to learn? How can I improve my own learning? Develop "habits of mind" such as persistence to increase their own learning.	Chemistry is learned by doing. Practice time for assignments is provided during class time Students may be expected to do extra practice at home.	Assessment activities are: Based on curricular outcomes Complete individually in front of the teacher Evidence of mastery on content and skills
