Ms Tozzi Phone 480-472-4604 school e-mail latozzi@mpsaz.org

Course Goals:
For each student to achieve the defined Arizona State Standards for High School
Chemistry.
To prepare students for further study in science and at the same time to present material
of use in daily life.
To encourage the spirit of scientific investigation and with it the attitudes of accuracy in
thought and work.

Organization:
Unit 0 Introduction to the Methods of Chemistry:
Measurements and Calculations; Lab Equipment and Lab Safety
Unit 1 Properties of Matter:
Matter The physical and chemical properties of matter
Unit 2 History of the Atom
Study of the historical development of the Atomic Theory
Unit 3 Periodic Table:
Predict properties of elements and compounds using trends of the periodic table
Unit 4 Nomenclature and Writing Formulas:
Chemical Formulas and Chemical Compounds
Unit 5 Chemical Quantities and Chemical Reactions:
Describe the mole concept and its relationship to mass, volume and # of particles,
chemical equations and reactions

Procedures and routines: All of the rules and guidelines described in your MPS student
handbook will be followed. The following are additions that will apply to Chemistry.

Supplies: A single subject spiral notebook and a 3 ring binder to keep handouts in are highly
recommended for success in this class, along with pen/pencils. Bring these to class every day.

Guidelines for Success:


1. Have a positive attitude and do your very best each day.
2. When you come into class read the information on the board and update your
assignment calendar (this is part of your grade). Be in your seat and ready to start working.
If there is a warm-up on the board start working on it.
3. Attendance/Tardies/Hallpasses/Sweep: Students are required to be in class.
Students need to follow the district attendance policy listed in the handbook. You are
responsible for turning in your work on the day it is due even if you are in the sweep
room, if turned in the next day it will be late. There is a limit to the number of hall passes
you may use each quarter
4. Cell phones and other electronic devices: These need to be turned off and out of
sight when you enter the classroom. If I see or hear them these items will be taken
and turned into the front office for a parent or guardian to pick them up.
5. Make up work: If you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to ask for the
assignments you missed. Check the assignment folder/calendar for what assignments
you have missed. You get one day to make up assignments for each day you are absent.
Late work will receive no more than half credit. Being absent the day before a test or quiz
does not excuse you from taking the test or quiz as scheduled. If you are absent the
day of a test or quiz you will take the day you return to class in class.
6. You are expected to do your own work even when working in small groups or lab work.
If you need help please ask me.
7. Please keep all current unit papers in your notebook until you have taken the unit test.
Notes are never thrown away.
8. You are expected to come in for tutoring in the mornings or make an appointment to get extra
help in understanding the material.

Grading: Your grade is based on tests, quizzes, labs, classwork/homework the grades on these
assignments are averaged together. There will also be quarter and semester exams.
90-100% =A
80-89% = B
70-79% = C
60-69% = D
0-59% = F

Behavior: Your behavior should be considerate and not interrupt or interfere with the
learning of others.

Expectations: The student is expected to:


1. Show respect to yourself and others.
2. Bring all school supplies to class everyday
3. Have a positive attitude and do your best everyday.
4. Not eat or drink anything in class or lab. This includes gum, candy etc.
5. Not use cell phones or other electronic devices in class. They should be off and
out of sight.
6. Follow all the safety rules outlined in this class.
7. Follow all the school wide rules while in class.

Consequences:
Reminder/warning to the student
Teacher/student conference
Student/teacher behavior plan
Parent/guardian notification
Administrative referral

Laboratory behavior: Do not endanger any person including you by violating any safety
procedure. Violation of any safety procedure will result in removal from the lab for that lab. You
will not receive credit for a lab you are removed from for a safety violation.
