  5. Honors Physical Science • Conceptual foundation for high school Honors and AP courses (chemistry and physics). • Experimentation, laboratory demonstrations and investigations are an integral part of this course and laboratory skills and safety awareness will be regularly assessed.

  6. Honors Physical Science • Instruction centers around inquiry-based learning and Honors students will regularly work independently from the teacher in order to achieve student autonomy as expected of advanced students. • Higher-level thinking will be incorporated into each lesson as well as use of technology to increase student achievement.

  7. Honors Physical Science Curriculum • Q1 – Nature of Science - Lab Safety, Metric Conversions, Dimensional Analysis, Laboratory Measurements • Matter • States of Matter and Classification of Matter • Gas Laws • Physical and Chemical Changes • Atomic Theory, Atoms and Isotopes • Periodic Table and Valence Electrons • Chemical Formulas • Law of Conservation of Mass and Chemical Reactions • Acids and Bases/Acid Rain

  8. Honors Physical Science Curriculum • Q2:Energy • Forms of Energy • Thermal Energy and Thermodynamics • Simple Machines • Power and Efficiency and Law of Conservation of Energy • Specific Heat • Ohm’s Laws and Currents • Endergonic and Exergonic Reactions

  9. Honors Physical Science Curriculum • Q3: Motion and Forces • Motion – Distance, Speed, Velocity, Acceleration • Free Body Diagrams • Newton’s Laws of Motion • Law of Conservation of Momentum • Collision Dynamics • Electromagnetism

  10. Honors Physical Science Curriculum • Q4:Waves • Types of Waves • Wave Energy • Properties of Waves • Electromagnetic Spectrum • Wave Transmission

  11. Competency Based Education (CBE) • Physical Science is utilizing Competency - Based Grading at WCMS for the 19-20 school year. • Students will be assessed on Mastery of Competencies for each grading period using a 1-5 proficiency scale. • At the end of each quarter their proficiency average on the competencies will be converted to a traditional grading percentage. • The earned percentage will be entered into PowerSchool as the official grade. • Students will chart their progress of the competencies on an individual student tracker. • Only the quarter and semester average will be available in PowerSchool. • Grades/Competencies close at the end of the quarter

  12. Traditional vs Competency-Based • Traditional Grading: • Late points, Effort, Completion, Homework, Extra credit, Zeroes, Missing work, “Now or Never”, Timeline – based • Competency-Based: • Mastery

  13. Change in Focus Traditional Grading CBE Grading What can I do to learn this standard? When can I demonstrate mastery on this standard? I need to learn this standard so I can re-assess. What can I do to improve? • How can I raise my grade? • Can I have extra credit? • Where’s my missing work? • Is this for a grade? • Are you taking this up? • Is this on the test?

  14. Resources • ACT Science Prep • ACT Science Standards and Rubric – review and practice ACT Science • Metacognition • Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy • Webb’s Depth of Knowledge • Study Styles and Techniques • Early Post Secondary Opportunities (EPSOs) • Modern States University “Nature of Science” CLEP
