|||| **__  Physical Science  __** ** 2009-2010 Syllabus  ** || || Physical Science || || || || One (1)  || || || || Physical Science is designed as a foundation course for chemistry and physics. Students will spend a semester mastering concepts in physics and then a semester mastering chemistry concepts. Emphasis is on the nature of science and science inquiry. Scientific process and manipulative skills are developed through many laboratory activities. || || || || Laboratory investigations, individual projects & presentations, applications of concepts, lectures, team work, student research, field trips, interactive notebooks  || || || || G 117 M-F (Student Scheduled Class)  || || || || **Faculty**: |||| Kathi Whitfield || || || || **Telephone**: |||| 252-637-5706 || || || || **Email**: |||| Kathi.whitfield@craven.k12.nc.us || || || || G 100D or G 117  || || || || M-F 7:30 am-8:45 am G100D M-Th 12:00 pm-12:45 pm G100D or G 117  || || || || Daniel Colvin, Dean Craven Early College  || || 252-637-5706 || || **Email**: |||| Daniel.Colvin@craven.k12.nc.us || || || || Campus Planner – this resource provides college procedures and regulations and provides an organization tool for students. Interactive Notebook, Three (3) ring binder, paper, pencils Optional-Scientific Calculator (any TI-80 will do as well) || || || || **Course Goals/Competencies** || || ** NCSCoS ** |||||| || || Goal 1  |||||| The learner will develop abilities necessary to do and understand scientific inquiry. || || Goal 2  |||||| The learner will construct an understanding of forces and motion. || || Goal 3  |||||| The learner will analyze energy and its conservation. || || Goal 4  |||||| The learner will construct an understanding of electricity and magnetism. || || Goal 5  |||||| The learner will build an understanding of the structure and properties of matter. || || Goal 6  |||||| The learner will build an understanding of regularities in chemistry. || || Projects (rubric), homework, classwork, laboratory work and reports, presentations (rubric), quizzes, tests, participation will all comprise 9 weeks averages. Final exam will be an EOC and count 25% of final grade. || A 93-100 B 85-92 C 77-84 D 76-70 F 69 and below |||| ** Grading Percentages:** || Students must request any missed work from the instructor. Students have five (5) days to makeup work missed that was assigned on the day the student was absent. If student misses an announced quiz, test, project or homework assignment, that quiz, test, project, or homework assignment is due the day the student returns. ||  || **Academic Integrity: ** Craven Community College and Craven Early College is committed to academic excellence through honesty and integrity. To protect all students from the results of dishonest conduct, the College has adopted policies to address these issues. It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with and understand all academic policies and the consequences for failure to adhere to these policies. Please read and follow all policies listed in the Campus Planner or in the Student Handbook **Code of Conduct** at: [] || || ** Attendance ** **Procedure**: ** First-Twentieth ** absence-Student is expected to request make up work from their teachers and is responsible for making up that work within five school days. If absences are consecutive more time may be allowed at the teacher’s discretion. Parents will be notified after the **sixth** and **tenth** absence of possible denial of course credit. The administrative team along with parent and student will create a plan for attendance improvement. ** Twenty-first ** absence-**If a student misses more that twenty days (20), course credit will be denied unless waived by SSMT (Student Services Management Team).** Student may request an appeal for a waiver to the SSMT due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. illness, death in immediate family, etc.). **Student must be able to document all days of absences in the appeal process (examples-court documents, doctors’ notes).** Waiver decisions will be determined at the end of the school year. ** Tardy Procedure ** : ||  || **Learning and Other Resources on Campus: ** Craven Community College offers the following resources to support student education goals: The Academic Skills Center provides a Tutorial Computer Lab, Writing Lab, and Math Lab. These labs are staffed by instructors and advanced students to offer assistance with any level of math or writing. Tutorial assistance for CCC students is provided through the Supplemental Instruction program and a nationally certified peer tutoring program. The ASC administers make-up tests per instructor guidelines, hosts a variety of workshops, and assists special needs students. The Goodwin Memorial Library provides a collection of resources selected to support the educational programs offered by the College. Internet access is available in the library to CCC students for educational purposes. For additional information on the ASC and the Goodwin Memorial Library, please visit: [|http://www.cravencc.edu/admissions/Course Catalog/General Information.pdf] and at: [] || || **Online Decorum: ** To promote an online learning environment that provides each student with the opportunity for academic excellence, students of Craven Community College are expected to become familiar with and adhere to the Code of Conduct. The complete code of conduct can be found at: [] || || **Instructor-specific expectations:** || Be present every day (body and mind)!! Follow all classroom ground rules, CEC Student Handbook, and Craven County Schools Student Handbook rules and regulations. Closed-toed shoes during lab activities! No exceptions-you will not be allowed to stay in class. No eating and drinking during Physical Science class unless there is a special cause. Ask for help when needed. || **College Cancellation/Closing: ** Weather related cancellations will be announced on the College’s webpage: [|http://www.cravencc.edu]. Cancellations may also be announced on Public Radio East (89.3 WTEB, 91.5 WBJD, 88.5 WZNB, 90.3 WKNS, 88.1 Greenville) and local radio and television.
