IPC
TEXT: Integrated Physics and Chemistry (Glencoe Science)DESCRIPTION: Physical Science deals with matter and energy. The first half of the year is spend studying physics in the areas of motion, forces, energy, work, machines, electricity, magnetism, waves, sound, light, mirrors, and lenses. The second half of the year is spent studying chemistry in the areas of classification and states of matter, atoms, the periodic table, chemical bonds, organic compounds, solutions, chemical reactions, acids, bases, and salts. .
Resources:
3-Ring Binder and Loose Leaf Paper or a Spiral Notebook, College Rule;
Blue or Black Ink Pens
No. 2 Pencils and/or Soft Lead Mechanical Pencil

Evaluation:
Classwork /Homework 20% of grade
Major Tests and Projects 50% of grade
Labs Activities/Quizzes 30% of grade
Regular Assignments:
Each Chapter is divided into various sections. There is a Section Review following each Section. All of the questions for each Section Review must be completed. The specific dates will be posted when assignment is given. Vocabulary will be addressed through the use of a crossword puzzle or other similar means. Other class work will be assigned as needed. Due dates will be placed on the board on a regular basis. Each student will be given one copy of each assignment; if the assignment is lost they are still responsible for it.
