Phone: (254) 559-2231
Conference: 8th period 2:55-3:40

Course Overview:
IP&C is designed to introduce the student to both chemistry and physics. We will spend 1 semester studying each of these sciences. This class is quantitative in nature and will have an emphasis on laboratory activities.

Textbook: “Integrated Physics and Chemistry” Glencoe

Supplies: 3 Ring Binder
3 Dividers
Dry Erase Markers
Scientific Calculator
Spiral Notebook / Pockets

Grading Scale: Tests 50%
Labs/Projects 25%
Daily Work 25%
Any cheating or plagiarism will result in a zero

Semester and Final Exams: These exams count 1/7 of the grade each six weeks counts 2/7. Students may be exempt form these exams if they meet the criteria as stated in the student handbook. Any student who passes the science TAKS exam will receive a 100 for their final exam grade.

Make-up work: If you are absent it is your responsibility to get make-up work. The student has one day for every day absent to turn in make-up work Projects are considered late if not turned in on due date.

Make-up Exams: If the student was absent on the day of exam only they will take the make-up exam the next day they return to class. If the student misses two or more days before the exam student will take the make-up exam when all assignments pertaining to the exam are completed.

Tutoring: available any day before school starting at 7:30, and after school and lunch by appointment.

Late Work: any daily assignment turned in late can not receive a grade higher t
