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.

 Resources:     Textbook: Biology (Prentice Hall)

Students must have a notebook in which handouts can be placed, pens / pencils, a ruler and eraser / liquid paper.

 Units of Study:

            Unit 1: The Cell

The development of cell theory; Microscope techniques; A closer look at cells and cell organelles; The processes that move materials through the cell membrane; Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

 Term Evaluations:    Cell Biology Concepts & Products – 40%

                   Biodiversity Concepts & Products – 40%

                   Human Body Systems Concepts & Products – 10%

                   Scientific Literacy – 10%

** Final evaluation plans are undecided at this time.            

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.

 Resources: Main Text: Omniscience 10 (Chenelière McGraw-Hill)

Students must also have a scientific calculator, a ruler, metric graph paper, a notebook 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.

Syllabus:         Unit 1 – Physical Science – Chemical Processes   (8-10 weeks)

 

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

Unit 2 – Physical Science – Motion   (6-8 weeks)

Measuring and calculating; relationships between distance, speed, acceleration and time; graphing.

Here are some important school-wide policies that apply to courses, grading, absenteeism and exams.  Please read over each one carefully and take note of how it applies to you!

Absenteeism and marks 

A legitimate absence is for school related activities, illness or bereavement.   Notes from home, signed by parents, need to be provided for such absences and presented to teachers directly.

 

Group marks 

Group marks will be earned based on your days present and working with your team.  For example, if a project takes ten class days to complete and the group receives a mark of 80%; but you were only there for 5 days you would receive a 40%.  Even if you have a legitimate reason for being absent the expectation is that you will make up for the time you missed by contributing to the group from home or working during study block when you are able.  Alternatively, if you know you are going to be absent you may choose to work alone if the teacher gives you that option. 

 

 

Labs 

If you are absent, during a science lab without a legitimate written excuse, you will receive a mark of zero and the teacher will not make up the lab for you.  If you have a legitimate excuse and it is within his/her ability to do, the teacher may allow you to make up the lab. 

 

Late assignment policy: 

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

  • 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. 

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

  • 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. 

  • In order to be graded, all work must be handed in no later than one week after the given due date of the assignment.  Term marks are final. 

 
 

 BLMS Attendance Incentive – 

Exams are normally worth 30% of students’ mark. To reach Academic Incentive, a student must meet the following criteria: 

  1. Miss 5 or fewer classes in that particular subject (only school related activities and bereavement are exempted excuses); AND 

  1. Be in good standing (not owing for assignments, projects, etc.) 

 

The subject teacher will then apply one of the three following options to the student’s advantage: 

  1. 15% Final Exam, 85% Class Mark 

  1. 50% Final Exam, 50% Class Mark
