Chemistry Content &Delivery
• Pre-AP track
• Central theme is matter,principles of structure,
matter-energy relationships, mole concept,
thermodynamics, theory, chemical change and
equations
• We cover these topics by means of hands-on
laboratory investigations, promote student inquiry,
textbook readings, assignments and projects
• Implementing common core reading and writing
• Using Quest Online Homework and myhrw.com
• Opt out of midterm/final with A or B
Common Core Goals

ONLINE LEARNING &
ASSESSMENT
• https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/
• Review, Practice quizzes and
assignments
Basic rules/procedures
•HW is reviewed in class and not accepted late.
•Honesty and integrity is demanded; learning does
not take place when students copy work. Students
may not “work together” on assignments that
require individual work. The only info shared in lab
is the data. (consequence is a zero and a referral)

• Excellent opportunity for
students and parents to keep up
with grades, attendance,
assignments and course
