Course Description:

Physicaland Earth Science is a full year course following the state of Michigan scienceobjectives. The first semester will bePhysical Science. It will cover thedescription and measurement of matter/energy and forces, the organization of theperiodic table of elements, chemistry of matter, the examination of motion, andthe use of waves in transferring energy. The second semester will have components of Earth Science which willexplain surface features of Michigan, plate tectonics, the effects oftechnology on our natural resources, it will cover watersheds of Michigan,elements of weather forecasting and will finish with the study of the universeand the solar systems.

Class Rules

Course Description:

Thegoal of General Chemistry is to prepare the non-science student for passing thechemistry portion of the MME/ACT, based on the content standards provided bythe Michigan Department of Education High School Science content Expectationsfor chemistry. Although all the necessary content standards will be covered,mathematical concepts will not be taught at the same level as the regularchemistry classes. Lab activities willbe completed mainly using household items, as compared to traditionallaboratory equipment. This will allowthe student to complete the laboratory activities from the laboratoryactivities from their desks and should not require any actual laboratory styleclassroom.

Welcome to Semester #2

2012-02-07T07:24:00.001-08:00

Dear Parents,
My name is Mr. Ferzo and your son/daughter is enrolled in one of my scienceclass (Anatomy and Physiology—Chemistry—Physical Science this semester/ year. Iam looking forward to an exciting year. It is my goal to provide all studentswith an educationally challenging, yet fun, experience in my classroom.
Science is a very demanding coursework. We will cover several topics in thecourses during the year. There will be class work assignments almost daily.Each student will need a single subject notebook, a pocket folder, blue orblack pens and pencils. These materials should be brought to class every day.We cover a lot of material in one class period so locker passes will not beissued.
Hopefully, your son/daughter has brought home their course syllabus and youhave both read the syllabus. I have written syllabus to ensure that both thestudents and their parents understand how this course will run. If you have anyquestions regarding the syllabus or the course, please contact me.
