Along with biology and physics, chemistry is one of the core sciences studied by high school students. This class is intended for high school students who need lab science credits. We will be using the Apologia Chemistry, 3rd Edition text. Apologia curricula are designed for self-directed learning, so students should be prepared to spend at least an hour each day studying the material. We will perform the labs from the text, with two weeks being allotted for each module.
This is a full-year course intended to satisfy a student’s high school science credit requirements. Students should have completed a year of algebra as prerequisite to registration for this course. Instructor will administer and correct tests and keep grade records.
NOTE: The Apologia curricula are intended for use by students in a homeschool setting working on own their with parental supervision. This course assists the student in completing the laboratory component. It is not a lecture -based class; all material is covered quite thoroughly in the textbook. I will take time to answers student questions, but this will be driven by the students, and the primary emphasis of this class will be completing the necessary lab work for high school science credit.

This is a CORE class that meets twice 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 class is intended for middle- to early high-school aged students who are beginning a formal study of the sciences or continuing an introduction to general scientific concepts before diving into high school biology or chemistry. Apologia texts are designed for self-directed learning, so students should expect to spend about an hour each day working through the textbook material.
This class is comprised of a review component to help students with concepts from the book, and a lab component. Two weeks are allotted for each module. The fee is for both the review and lab.

The text used is easily read and comprehended. It teaches the clear-cut, decisive principles of sound politics and economics enunciated by the Founders. Part I presents the Founder's foundational beliefs about how people should be governed with some historical background. Part II consists of 28 Principles that must be understood and lived. I believe through a minimum of reading, reflecting, and discussing the 28 Principles, you will find yourself incorporating them into your life--as the Founders hoped--because they are duties and responsibilities as much as they are rights and privileges. John Adams commented that the Constitution will only provide a stable, prosperous, and nurturing society if it is practiced by a people who believe in God. Hopefully, our discussion will explore that. Reading and discussion are the core of the class. Be prepared to engage in discussion. Class is appropriate for sixth grade through high school.
Requirements:
6th-grade reading level or higher... A willingness to engage in the class...seriously, personally,
Students will work to improve their argumentative writing by flexing their critical thinking muscles. We will begin the semester by analyzing written work and developing a baseline for what good argument writing looks like. We will read and discuss scenarios that involve the need for solid argument and text based evidence to persuade an audience, developing a foundation for writing our own arguments. Students will then work together to solve a real world issue. In a proposal argument, students will describe a significant problem and a reasonable solution, applying all of the skills developed in the first semester. We will also improve our critical thinking through reading, writing, and discussion, and will attend to basic research skills, including MLA documentation. Additionally, we will practice the writing traits of word choice, sentence structure, ideas and organization.. Texts will include traditional sources such as a writing handbook, but we will also examine the arguments in other texts—in popular culture, advertisements, and websites. Students need to have access to a laptop or tablet that they can bring to class and use at home for research and word processing.
If you are in 7th grade, you must have taken my Middle School English class as a prerequisite. Bring a laptop or tablet, paper, pencils, highlighters, binder or other organization system.
Homework: 60-90 mins/wk
