A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT
Welcome to Chemistry
![Page 2: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Introduction
I was born in Boca Raton, FL but grew up in Hoover, AL. I attended Hoover HS as a freshman but transferred to Spain Park HS my sophomore year when the school first opened. I played 3 years of baseball after high school (2 at Bevill State CC and 1 year at Campbell University near Durham, NC) before finishing my degree at Auburn University.
I started teaching in the fall of 2009 at Spain Park and have been here ever since. My undergraduate degree was in biology while also majoring in education, and I have a minor in general science. I got my masters degree from the University of West Alabama in biology education in 2013.
I have an older brother, Brian, who is a materials engineer for NASA in Huntsville and a younger sister, Shannon, who is a 5th year senior basketball player at UAH and is currently doing her internship at Bob Jones HS.

Materials
You will NOT be issued a textbook although we may occasionally use the class set You may take one home if you sign it
out with me You MUST bring with you
everyday: IPAD
Notability app Headphones
Occasionally Stylus? Calculator
You may borrow mine for 50 cents per class period
Can’t use phones or IPAD during assessments, school mandated rule
Pencil Having these items everyday is
vital to the class and being successful

IPAD
We will attempt to function without paper with the exception of tests/quizzes. This means that your class work will be done on your IPADS every day. Not bringing them means that you can’t get credit for the days assignments or activities. Exception
Bring chargers if you need to especially if you are an afternoon class
Have iPads charged the night before DO NOT USE THE TABLE OUTLETS
FOR CHARGING YOUR IPADS You will need to purchase the
notability app for $1.99 BY FRIDAY when class starts
![Page 5: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Grades
Each nine week period will be divided into three different units. Each unit will contain two separate topics that will relate to each other.
For a unit, you will receive 300 points divided into four grades: 1 packet grade (100 points) 2 quiz grades (50 points each) 1 test grade (100 points)
You will also have a 100 point project each nine weeks I will also give 50 points of “class points” at the beginning of each
grading period. Losing class points will be 10 points per day for usually one of the
following: not having assignments downloaded before class starts, not having your iPad charged, not working on today’s activity, and sleeping.
I grade based on total points not weighted averages. This means that losing 10 points on a test is the same detriment to your grade as losing 10 points on a homework assignment or participation, it’s all going towards the same overall total.
![Page 6: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Packets
Single most important thing to understand about this class in order to being successful!
A packet is worth 100 points, equal to that of a test Packets are a collection of all the assignments from a unit turned in
by the day of the test via email (15 points off every day it is late) This means that you do not typically have homework for this class
depending on your effort during class time Packets are graded for effort and completion, not correctness (sort
of) This often times leads to problems for some students (cheating, quality of work,
etc.) There should be NO pressure to cheat or engage in academic dishonesty
Bottom line: do the work in class, you will have minimal work at home besides studying. Since packets are worth the same number of points as a test, and you will have 2-3 weeks to complete, you should always score high on these.
![Page 7: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Quizzes
Each unit has two 50 point quizzes (with a few exceptions).
We will do 4-5 assignments, take a quiz. Do 4-5 new assignments, take a quiz. After both quizzes are done, we will typically review the unit for one day and take a test on both together.
Students perform lower on quizzes than on tests. This is normal! You are still learning the material and have time to figure out what you might be missing by test time.
![Page 8: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Tests
You will have a 100 point test at the end of each unit.
Tests are fill in the blank or short answer (math questions) Multiple choice are not
always “easier” tests
![Page 9: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Labs
We will try and get in the lab at least once per unit
Many labs will be done in the classroom
All safety guidelines and precautions apply at all times in the lab Quiz 1-1

Website
You will be using my website every day to find assignments, look at calendars, find information, etc.
Good idea to make a shortcut on your home screen and rename it “Chemistry” or whatever else works for you
Go to my website now and look over it with me Main uses:
Uploading documents to notability to complete during and after class Finding what you missed on days you were absent
A lot of time is spent updating the class calendar, uploading assignments for you to access, and giving out reminders. My website is very functional for you so use it
![Page 12: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Soon I will be gathering all of your emails and entering it into my outlook. You need to have an email that you check on a daily basis and is reliable. I send out an email every day after 6th period with an attachment of the next day’s work, reminders, and quiz/test outlines.
You have two separate places to access documents for class the next day: emails from me and website calendar….make sure you use one or the other every day
![Page 13: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Make Up Work
Technically you have 3 days per day you missed to make up an assignment/test
Since I take up packets at the end of a unit, that usually takes care of that problem
If you miss a quiz or test, it is up to you to figure out when you will make it up
Likely scenario: you miss a quiz, forget to make it up, realize it 4 weeks later, forget the material, fail the quiz, your life is over (this is actually pretty frequent)
![Page 14: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Honesty
I strongly encourage collaborative work and working in groups. There is a fine line, however, between working together and copying someone else’s hard work.
Having packets makes it tempting to not finish assignments and copy them later.
Dishonesty on packets is an automatic zero on the assignment . This includes copying OR enabling others to copy. If you have questions, just ask
Remember that you can’t screenshot your test and send your answers to a friend, so doing this with your classwork is setting yourself up to fail
![Page 15: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Things NOT to do (Rules sort of)
Sleep (If I’m up, you’re up) Be loud Work on other assignments in
class If you are done and I have given
you the ok to work on something else, that is the only exception
Constantly use the bathroom School policy is to NOT leave the
classroom for any reason during class. Did you know that? I technically am not supposed to let you go with the exception of medical purposes
You have 5 minutes in between classes to get somewhere and use the bathroom
Or you can wear diapers
![Page 16: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Be motivated!
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Change your mindset
98% 86% Athletes
http://2point3.ncaa.org/ This is a HUGE CHANGE! Applies to current juniors (class of
2016) and anyone after that, so most of you
Will you always use chemistry your entire life? No! Might some of you major in a non-science field? Sure! If this is your attitude you are missing the point. Better yourself and learn about the world around you!

What’s the point of all this?
One word…..OPTIONS
Colleges, sports, jobs, husbands/wives, children, houses, cable, food, clothes, etc…..that’s the point.
Put yourself in a position to choose your path in life, not have it chosen for you. –Coach Steinert

Homework
We will be making a collage on the back wall of the class room separated by class period on Monday. You will be given a sheet of computer paper to draw/write/cut out things that represent you. Each person needs to bring photos/magazines to decorate and I will supply the paper, markers, scissors, glue, etc.
Not optional, part of your class points
![Page 21: A POWERPOINT BY COACH STEINERT Welcome to Chemistry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e9f5503460f94ba2121/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chemistry Pretest
You are about to take a 20 question pretest. The person who scores the highest will receive 5 bonus points on an assignment of their choice (test or quiz).
You can choose to work with a partner, BUT if your team wins you only receive 3 bonus points each.
You have 1 minute to prepare and get out a sheet of paper. Do not look on anyone else’s paper or talk loudly so that others can hear your answers.
