Description: Anatomy and physiology is a one SEMESTER course that involves the structure and function of the human body, as it pertains to how the body systems relate to one another in organization, adaptation, and homeostasis. This course will involve laboratory activities, projects, dissections, textbook material, models, diagrams, journal writings, and clinical studies. The material learned in this course can be applied to medical field careers, health and fitness careers, and biological research careers.
Expected Schoolwide Learning Results: MCHS graduates will be:
- Effective Communicators
- Critical Thinkers
- Self Directed Learners
- Responsible Community Members
Materials: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology (textbook), notebook, laboratory notebook, pencil, pen, college-ruled paper, notebook dividers, and $10 lab fee.

Your purpose for being in school is to learn. Any behavior that disrupts the learning process for you or your classmates will not be tolerated. The following behavior rules will be followed:
A. Behavior
1. When the tardy bell rings, be in your assigned seat, quiet, and ready to work.
2. Bring a pencil or pen, paper, and textbook to class everyday.
3. Go to the restroom and drink water during the passing time.
4. No cell phones, mp3's, iPod's, and cameras to be used in our classroom.
5. No eating, chewing gum, chewing candy or drinking in class and no litter in our classroom.
6. No cheating on tests, quizzes, or assignment
B. Discipline Plan
Consequences for not following rules:
1. 1st Offense = Verbal Warning (Redirect)
2. 2nd Offense = Teacher Conference and/or Seat Change and 25 write-offs
3. 3rd Offense = Phone Call Home and 50 write-offs
4. 4th Offense = Office Referral for ISS and Parent Conference
C. Grades
There are 4 ways to earn points toward one grade in this science class.
1. Human Anatomy and Physiology Notebook: You are responsible for completing each assignment on time. I will stamp each completed assignment and grade each assignment. All assignments are to be kept together, in order, and to be placed neatly in a classroom notebook and turned in at the end of each semester. If the notebook is late due to an excused absence, it must be stated on the classroom notebook rubric where it can be seen. I will not accept a late unexcused classroom notebook.
2. Group Lab Projects: At times, you will work with others in a group or with a partneR doing lab activities and projects. Everyone within the group is required to participate.
I will give points for individual and group participation. You are also required to use a portion of your notebook for recording laboratory activities.
3. Quizzes: You are responsible for knowing the vocabulary and science topics from each chapter in the textbook
4. Chapter Tests: At the end of each chapter, you will be tested over material covered in the chapter. The test involves multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, short answers, and essay questions.
D. Grading Scale
93% - 100% = A
85% - 92% = B
75% - 84% = C
70% - 74% = D
0% - 69% = F
E. Absences:
You Must bring in a re-admit slip, to be excused. You are responsible for making up any work that you missed. If you are absent on the day an assignment is due, you must turn it in no more than 2 days after you return.
F. Cheating:
It is your job to convince me that you are not cheating. Ways to convince me:
1. Keep Your Eyes On Your Own Paper.
2. Keep Your Answer Sheet Covered.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
I have read the class description and class requirements with my son/daughter.
