Students will receive formative assessments throughout the 16 week class.They are optional and they are done as take home assignments. At the end of the 16 weeks students will receive a summative semester exam. Any student wishing to receive a grade for the class must complete the semester exam.Grading

Letter grades will be given in the form of a report card. If a different method of grading is desired that can be discussed as well.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
In this class students will learn the basics of high school chemistry by looking at real life examples and examples, videos and labs they can do at home. The class is highly interactive and students are encouraged to ask questions. Students will practice solving equations and reflecting on what they have learned. Students will also participate in review games and will be assigned homework and notes. It is recommended that Chemistry 1st semester is completed and that the student has some knowledge of basic algebra. All assignments are posted on Sunday and due a week after the class occurs. Extensions will be made on a case by case basis. At the end of the 16 weeks a midterm will be given and report cards documenting the student's progress will be available by request. This will be a Semester Review for the Final Exam. Upon Completion of the Final Exam a Report Card and a grade for the semester will be issued.
Learning Goals
