All my students will be invited to a class-TEAMS: please be sure to confirm your student login and password in order to be able to access the online content that will be posted regularly for your offsite learning days. TEAMS will be the main online platform through which I disseminate course materials, assignments and deadlines.  If you have any questions, you can reach me by email at Laura.Ketch@nbed.nb.ca.

Course Syllabus 2021-2022

 Science 10         Mrs. L. Ketch; Ms. A. Thompson; Ms. O’Toole

 Resources: Main Text: Science 10 (Nelson)

Students must also have a scientific calculator, a ruler, metric graph paper, a note book and a periodic table (available at the library).

 The aim of the grade 10 science program is to develop scientific literacy.  Scientific literacy is a combination of the science-related attitudes, skills, and knowledge students need to develop.  These skills will allow students to become lifelong learners, and to maintain a sense of wonder about the world around them. To develop scientific literacy, students require diverse learning experiences that provide opportunities to explore, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, appreciate, and understand the interrelationships among science, technology, society, and the environment. (ACSC)

Syllabus:         Unit 1 – Physical Science – Chemical Processes 

Periodic table of elements; characteristics of elements; reactions of elements; chemical equations; acids and bases.

Unit 2 – Physical Science – Motion & Electricity 

Measuring and calculating relationships between distance, speed, time and acceleration, gravity studies; Electrical circuits, electricity production                 

************************************************************************

Course Grading:           Chemistry Processes concepts and products:  60%

                               Motion & Electricity concepts and products:  30%

                               Scientific Literacy:  10%

 **Final assessment evaluations will be weighted according to the BLMS Academic Exam Incentive.                           

Students must obtain a minimum mark of 60% to pass this course.  This course is required in order to be able to take grade 11 science courses.

Extra Help: If at any time a student is having difficulty in the course, extra help is available upon a student’s request.  A schedule for lunch-time help is posted in the classroom and study-block pull-outs are available most months.

Absences:  If you miss one or more classes, it is your responsibility to catch up on all missed notes and work. Medical excuses or written excuses for legitimate absences are required from parents to get extensions or to write a missed test / quiz.  If you have missed a test, it must be written on your first day back to school unless another arrangement has been made in advance.

Group marks and Lab marks:  Attendance is a crucial part of group and lab marks assigned in this course.  If you are absent for one or more days used for group work or labs, your mark may be adjusted to reflect the number of days you were absent.

Late Assignments:  It is important to respect assignment deadlines.  Late assignments impact learning!  If there is a problem regarding an assignment being passed in on time, the student is expected to see the teacher about an extension prior to the due date.  Late assignments must be accompanied by a note.  

Notice will be given in class if it this syllabus changes.

**Final assessment evaluations will be weighted according to the BLMS Academic Exam Incentive.                   

A final mark of 60% is required in order to receive full credit for this course.

This is an academic course meant to start preparing students for post-secondary studies.  Students will be required to put in a certain amount of work outside class time.

Extra help:  Extra help is available during lunch as per schedule available in class – see white board.  See me if you wish to schedule a time for extra help.  A science study block period is available daily, and students will have the ability to connect virtually with the teacher during their at-home-learning days.

Absences:  If you miss one or more classes, it is your responsibility to catch up on all missed notes and work. If you have missed a test, it must be written on your first day back to school unless another arrangement has been made in advance.  Medical excuses or written excuses for legitimate absences from parents are required to get extensions or to write a missed test / quiz (these can be applied to group work marks if necessary). 

 Group marks and Lab marks:  Attendance is a crucial part of group and lab marks assigned in this course.  If you are absent for one or more days used for group work or labs, your mark may be adjusted to reflect the loss of learning.

 Late Assignments:  It is important to respect assignment deadlines.  If there is a problem regarding an assignment being passed in on time, the student is expected to see the teacher about an extension prior to the due date.  Late assignments must be accompanied by a note.  

 Notice will be given in class if it this syllabus changes.       

Number Relations & Functions (2020 - 2021)

MATH 10 EVALUATION:

                  Factors and Polynomials – 40%

Relations and Functions – 40%

Linear Functions – 20%

Late Policy:

Ø    To get full marks, assignments need to be handed in by the assigned due date. 

Ø    For every date late, after the assignment due date, 10% will be deducted from the mark (up to a maximum of 40%).  Weekends count as one day. 

Ø    If a student is absent on a due date, a written excuse from a parent or guardian must be presented upon the student’s return, or the late-day deductions will apply. 

Ø    A student’s mark cannot be lower than 60% given that the student deserves a passing grade on the assignment to begin with.  Any work getting a mark of less than 60% will receive that grade. 

Ø    In order to be graded, all work must be handed in no later than 1 week after the given due date of the assignment.

Course Evaluation:

Ø    A demonstration of learning in January may consist of an exam, a cumulative project or assignment to be determined at a later date.

Extra Help:

Ø    A Team has been created on Office365 to allow students (during their home days) to have access to a Mathematics teacher for all questions they may have concerning their daily work. Any students enrolled in a 9 or 10 Mathematics course are encouraged to join the team in order to have access to a teacher when doing work/assignments at home. This team will be operational daily during Period 3.

Who: Ms. Conroy

What: Help for all 9/10 Mathematic students

When: Period 3

What: Questions, clarity, instruction etc……

Why: Give students working from home an opportunity to access Math help every day they are not in the building.
