Welcome to the IGCSE Year 10 Chemistry

In this class students will study matter and the changes it undergoes, learning the structure of atoms and molecules, elements, compounds, and mixtures. The Periodic Table will be a vital tool. Understanding of why chemical reactions occur and how to control them, what is a mole, & stoichiometry. The instructional approach emphasises the concepts of chemistry and students will have weekly laboratory experiences.

What are we actually studying: Curriculum

Below is a link to our curriculum guide for the academic year 2022-2023. This shows what lessons we will be doing each term, throughout the year. You can use this information to get ahead of the class and carry out some independent research on the subject before attending class. This is an ideal technique for blended and flipped learning:

Year 10 chemistry curriculum guide

We will be studying the Cambridge Assessment International Education. The syllabus code is 0620. The content studied will consist of the following topics. The link for it is below:

Chemistry 0620 Syllabus

I would strongly recommend that you do read the specification from the link below as it gives more details about what each topic consists of. Using the curriculum overview alongside the syllabus will provide stepping stone towards the discipline we mentioned earlier. You will be able to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

CLASS EXPECTATIONS

1. Respect yourself, the teacher & others

2. Put forth your best effort at all times

· Always do your own best work.

· Put learning ahead of getting good grades.

· Put quality ahead of just getting it done

3. Be prepared for class each day

4. Follow directions when given

When directions are given, do your best to follow them the first time. If you are confused or have questions, ask. I would rather have you stop class to clarify than be off task while everyone else is working.

5. Pay attention, participate and ask questions

6. Preserve a positive learning environment

7. Take responsibility for your actions

CLASS RULES

1. Turn off cell phones & electronic devices

Cell Phones should be turned off and invisible during the class period. If I see or hear your phone it will be taken away and given to an administrator, according to cell phone policy outlined in the EMS handbook. Refusal to turn over the cell phone will be treated as insubordinate behavior.

2. No food or drink, except water

3. Arrive to class on time & ready to learn

· When the bell rings, you need to be sitting in your assigned seat.

· You should immediately begin on the warm up activity.

· Be “physically” and “mentally” present in the classroom

4. Never line up at the door before dismissal

5. Do not cheat, plagiarize, or copy work

6. Use polite and appropriate language

7. Do your best work & turn it in on time
