Join us for this challenge based Engineering course in which students will apply STEM concepts to solve problems they may encounter in the real world! Students will work individually or as teams each unit to create a solution to the unit challenge, with some guidance from the teacher. Examples of challenges that will be implemented in class include: The Bridge Challenge, Designing an earthquake-proof building, The Perched Water-Proof Pot, etc. Concluding the course, students will present their favorite work on the final day of class.
***BECAUSE OF THE HANDS ON NATURE OF THIS COURSE IT REQUIRES 1-2 PARENT ASSISTANTS, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO BE AN ASSISTANT IN THIS CLASS YOUR STUDENT GETS A 50% DISCOUNT ON THEIR TEACHER FEES. To be an assistant in this class simply register yourself the same way you registered your child.
Requirements:
Bring a notebook, pencil, ruler, pen, scissors, protractor, compass, calculator.

This is a CORE class that meets once a week for the full year. Parents are required to attend the mandatory Core Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 24th at 2pm, August 24th at 6pm, September 7th at 2pm, or September 7th at 6pm.
This course curriculum was developed by the teacher based on student feedback from previous texts - content falls somewhere between Friendly Chemistry and Apologia Chemistry. Fall term will focus on a thorough understanding of atoms, molecules, and the periodic table, while spring term will apply stoichiometry to various chemical principles. This is a full-year course intended to satisfy a student’s high school science credit requirements and must be taken alongside Mr. Ringnalda's chemistry lab (you will automatically be enrolled in both at the time of registration). Teacher will supplement the text content, administer labs, grade tests, and provide an overall course grade based on test scores, homework completion, and in-class participation. Parents will administer tests at home, sign off on all homework assignments, and maintain communication through Slack.
Requirements:
Students must have passed Algebra 1 with a B or better (contact the teacher prior to registration if this is a concern) - many chemistry problems involve solving for an unknown, unit conversions/dimensional analysis, and simplifying exponents. Students must bring the textbook, a calculator WITH DISPLAY (such as: https://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-Engineering-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B004NB[…]4894100&sprefix=graphing%2Bcalculato%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-14&th=1), a pencil, a highlighter, post-its or other sticky bookmarks, and a spiral bound notebook with pocket folder to class. Materials fee includes the textbook provided by the teacher. Parents must sign off on weekly homework assignments and electronically input scores for supplementary problems once per chapter (10 chapters).

Parents will administer tests at home, sign off on all assignments, and maintain communication through Slack.
Requirements:
Students must have passed Algebra 1 with a B or better (contact the teacher prior to registration if this is a concern) - many chemistry problems involve solving for an unknown, unit conversions/dimensional analysis, and simplifying exponents. Students must bring the textbook, a TI-36X Pro calculator (must be this specific calculator), a pencil, a highlighter, post-its or other sticky bookmarks, and a notebook or binder with pocket folder to class. Materials fee includes the textbook provided by the teacher. Parents must sign off on all assignments.
This is a CORE class that meets twice a week for the full year. CORE classes have greater expectations of students, parents, and teachers. Parents are required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 26th at 6:45pm or August 28th at 2:45pm. This course curriculum was developed by the teacher based on student feedback from previous texts - content covers the same material as Apologia Chemistry with a student-friendly text. Fall term will focus on a thorough understanding of atoms, molecules, and the periodic table, while spring term will apply stoichiometry to various chemical principles.

Come learn about chemistry in this lab based science class! Students will learn all about the periodic table with arts and crafts, science experiments, and lapbook projects.
This is a CORE class that meets once a week for the full year. Parents are required to attend the mandatory Core Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 24th at 2pm, August 24th at 6pm, September 7th at 2pm, or September 7th at 6pm.
Along with biology and physics, chemistry is one of the core sciences studied by high school students. This is a full-year course intended to help satisfy a student’s high school science credit requirements. Learning how to perform lab work successfully and safely along with learning how to communicate lab findings through lab reports is the main emphasis of this class.
This is the lab component for the full-year chemistry lecture/review offered by Mrs. Valenti. Concurrent enrollment for both courses is required.
