3. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Physical Science Is? + + With simplest algebra 1 math But simple ≠easy for all

4. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Average Student highly qualified Text written for algebra 1 students 80% of students completed algebra 1 40% in algebra 2 35% in geometry Other students may have to work harder Most are seated with algebra 2 or geometry students

5. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Success #1= Effort: do homework, attend, try all test questions, #2= Math skills, lots of practice available

6. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Success/ Failure? Three roads to A/B The road to perdition (D/F)

7. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Success/ Failure? Three roads to A/B Quality work (good students) Do in class, homework right 1 st time More work (hard workers, weak in math) Do all the work, much of extra credit Smart (slackers) Do well on tests, quizzes, & labs The road to perdition (D/F) Weak students who don’t do the work

8. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy New Textbook Completely different sequence: Easy to read Lead off with labs Overall flow changed, chem in middle Chapter & section flow different 6 th & 7 th hour will be different : Something may not work in lead hour Some topics I will compare old way (lab, worksheet etc) with new way Some new test questions May have to adjust test scores

9. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Goals Learn life skills (effort) Prepare, try, finish, cooperate, be considerate… (more effort = more skill) Intro chemistry/physics Apply theory in labs Relate theory to real world Intro to college (math) Lots of simple algebra 1 word word problems

10. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Rules “do the right thing” Prepare …e.g. on time, ready for quiz/ work “Fortune favors the prepared” Try …………………e.g. be here, work most tasks “Half of life is just showing up” Finish ……e.g. complete tasks on own, extra effort “Winners never quit… copiers fail tests” Cooperate ………….…e.g. allow teaching, be safe, “Silence is golden” “You can hear a lot just by listening” Be considerate …e.g. allow learning, helpful, neat, discrete: “Do unto others…” Stay in seat, 2/table,less A I dismiss; no throw; use near restroom Take answer key, no keys Lose restroom, pass, longer wait for all

12. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy How-Grades 40% Tests knowledge 20% Daily Quizzes knowledge 20% Homework More reps = more skill 20% Labs ~Daily Extra credit More reps = more skill Semester= 15% final + Qtr grades knowledge more reps= more skill

13. Physical Science Open House 1314 A Sandoy Details-Grades Tests eventually can be unit grade for As ~2Q 3x5 card written notes on tests; more time case by case Daily Quizzes Open notes; review homework/labs Homework http://www4.smsd.org/andrewsandoy/http://www4.smsd.org/andrewsandoy/ Late= 50%, > 2-30 days late 10% Make up @ 50% during seminar, before, or after school in 407 until test Labs 2-3 person group, no lab report= no grade Extra credit Exceptional job … early work … more/harder problems Graded harder: 1/3 value of regular questions knowledge more reps= more skill
