Welcome to Honors Chemistry II! This is an honors lab science course designed to prepare you and introduce you to college-level chemistry. The first few weeks of the course will be an expedited review of Chemistry I. The second part of the course will be college-level chemistry topics including some not typically covered until sophomore year of college.

Grading policy

|Category |Description |Percentage |

|Class Work |Work completed in class each day, Catalyst, Exit Tickets |10% |

|Labs |Lab participation (50%) & Lab reports (50%) |20% |

|Homework |Work completed outside of class time |10% |

|Assessments |Tests, Quizzes, Projects, etc. |60% |

Materials: Each day you must have: pens/pencils, paper for note taking, place to organize notes/handouts (binder is best), a calculator capable of doing log, e, scientific notation functions, etc.

Lab Reports:

Labs are composed of 20% of your course grade. The labs completed require following or developing processes and procedures, taking observations, and data manipulation. Students communicate and collaborate in lab groups; however, each student writes their own lab report.

Make-up Work

Students with excused absences from class are permitted to make up missed assignments for full credit. Students will have 3 days from the date of the absence to obtain the missed work and 7 days to complete it.  Any work turned in after that time will not be accepted. You must come outside of class time to receive missing work including signing pink slips.

Homework Policy: Each student is responsible for completing homework, and turning it in at the beginning of class or it is late.  Most homework will be given in the form of a weekly packet that is due on the corresponding A/B day at the end of the week. Homework turned in late will be deducted 25% each day that it is late.

Academic Dishonesty—Knowledge is too precious to be stolen

Cheating will not be tolerated. Students caught cheating from another’s work, allowing others to cheat on their assignment, plagiarizing other’s work or ideas or submitting work not completed by them will receive a zero and face disciplinary action. You all can do well in this class on your own!

Extra Credit: Extra credit will be offered rarely throughout the semester. Do not rely on extra credit to significantly impact your grade. You must be working hard throughout the entire year to do well in this course.

Electronic Devices: If students have electronic devices visible in class, Mrs. Lindstrom will confiscate them for the remainder of the class. If it is a recurring issue, a parent conference will be scheduled. If an electronic device is out while taking an assessment, the student will receive a zero. If you have any issues with this policy please contact Mrs. Lindstrom to discuss.

Coach Class/Extra Help: Come for help early and often! This course builds upon the knowledge learned in Chemistry I. If you have specific content you struggled with in chemistry I, please make me aware and find time to meet with me for extra help. You are also encouraged to seek help from any of the other chemistry teachers in the building.[pic]
