*Students DO NOT need to take quarter classes in order* Topics By Week: Week 1 - Structure of Molecules Week 2 - The Reorganization of Matter Week 3 - Effect of Heat Energy on Matter & Density Week 4 - Particle Motion & Phase Change Week 5 - Matter Types & Particle Motion Week 6 - Temperature & Heat Transfer Week 7 - Engineering design to maximize or minimize heat energy (Part 1) Week 8 - Engineering design to maximize or minimize heat energy (Part 2) Structure of the Class: In my dynamic...
Learning goals for this class are based on the National Next Generation Science Standards and the Utah Science and Engineering Education Standards. -Students will develop models to show that molecules are made of different kinds, proportions and quantities of atoms. -Students will develop a model to predict the effect of heat energy on states of matter and density. -Students will plan and carry out an investigation to determine the relationship between temperature, the amount of heat transferred, and the change of average particle motion in various types or amounts of matter. -Students will design an object, tool, or process that minimizes or maximizes heat energy transfer. Identify criteria and constraints, develop a prototype for iterative testing, analyze data from testing, and propose modifications for optimizing the design solution.
I have a masters in Earth Science science and I have taught integrated science at the middle school level as well as high school Biology, Wildlife Biology, and Zoology. During the last two years, I have worked as a Science Specialist for a large school district in Utah, supporting teachers and administration in science education.
Homework Offered
Students may be required to complete 20-30 minutes of homework, reading, activities, etc. per each live lesson depending on the flow of the class.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Assessments will be given as an indication of how well a student is learning the content and skills for the class and to help me continuously develop a better curriculum. Students will be assigned a number on a proficiency scale* that lets the student, parent, and teacher know how the student is doing. Each assignment will have a rubric attached to it letting the student, parent, and teacher know the expectations for the assessment. Assessments may be multiple choice, free response, modeling, or many other types. Most assessments will be taken in class, but some may be at-home projects. Assessment retakes and/or revisions will be provided and encouraged. *See Grading Policy for our Proficiency ScaleGrades Offered
Grades will be provided by default to all learners. If students do not want their student graded or to not have access to their grades, please let me know. Grades allow students, parents, and myself to understand where the student is at in their learning. Classwork will be graded using the outline below: 0 - The students understanding is incomplete, incorrect, or missing. 1 - The students understanding is complete and correct. Assessments will be graded using the outline below: 0 - The student demonstrates no evidence of learning. 1 - The student demonstrates a minimal understanding of the concept. 2 - The student demonstrates a partial understanding of the concept. 3 - The student demonstrates a complete understanding of the concept. 4 - The student demonstrates an understanding of the concept and can apply it to a new situation. Students will be able and encouraged to retake assessments and redo classwork throughout this class.
