~Mr. Lynn
Most notes in this class will be given on
PowerPoint, if you are having trouble
reading this… move closer!
 Sit where you would like, but after today
there will be no seat changes for awhile.
 (That means you can’t move for awhile)

Welcome to Conceptual Chemistry
What you will need
Writing utensil
 3-ring binder OR notebook and folder
 Calculator
 Lab goggles

Calculator
Rules and Discipline
I will always treat you as adults unless you
act like children, then you will be treated as
such.
 Standard punishments- 1st warnings, then
detentions, then a call home, finally
referrals. Some actions can warrant severe
penalty without a warning or detention.

Things I really hate



Belligerence (attempting to start a fight)
will not be tolerated in this classroom.
No one will congregate at the door waiting
for the bell to ring, or congregate in the
doorway before class starts.
You will be in class and in your seat when
the bell stops ringing, otherwise you are
tardy.
Summing up


Anything not covered in these rules will
be ruled by common sense! You know
what you are not supposed to do, so don’t
do it.
All rules still apply if a substitute teacher
is in class!!
Electronics
Phones are NOT allowed to be used ever,
especially during tests (even as a calculator).
 There are instances where you may listen to an
MP3 player/iPod.
 You may NOT use an electronic device if I am
giving instruction.
 You may NOT use an electronic device if you put
your homework away to do later, you may use it if
you are working on your homework quietly.

More Electronics
You may NOT use an electronic device during a
lab (it is a safety hazard).
 Using an electronic device when you are not
allowed means it will be confiscated and handed
to the principal.
 You can always ask if you are allowed or not.
 Laser pointers, noise makers or ANYTHING
distracting to the rest of the class is never
allowed.

Lab Music
I play music during labs.
 If you don’t like it ask me, I will turn it off.
 If you want me to turn it up ask me, I will turn it
off.
 If you want me to … ask me, I will turn it off.
 No, I won’t play your iPod.
 If one student asks 3 times to turn it off it stays
off all year

Policies


Detentions will be served in my classroom, room
144, from 2:30 to 3:00. You may either serve it
the evening after I give it to you, or the next
evening.
Tardiness- If the bell stops ringing and you are
not in the classroom, you are tardy, even if it is
by 1 second. No Exceptions! First two times
you get a warning, the third time you get a
detention, every other time you get a detention.
More Policies
If you have to be removed from class you
will automatically lose 10 points from your
grade.
 Late homework- you may turn things in one
day late and receive 75% credit, two days
late is 50%, and three days late is 25%.
Nothing may be turned in later than three
days.

Make up assignments for
absences
Anything completed on an unexcused
absence will count as a zero.
 It is your responsibility to get notes and any
assignments you miss, I am not responsible
for reminding you.
 You will have the number of days you were
absent to make up an assignment. If you
miss only the day of the test, you will make
it up the day you come back!

Cheating
All parties involved will receive a zero on
whatever they were working on.
 This includes someone who is finished with
their paper or test and allows someone to
copy, or attempts to give an answer to
someone even if their paper is already
turned in!
 This also includes coping someone’s
homework or in class assignment, not just
tests.

Electronic Devices
There will be some instances where
electronic devices (iPod’s) are allowed,
however normally you are NOT allowed to
use them.
 You are NEVER allowed in the hallways
with them.
 Using electronic devices, including phones
or MP3 players, during a test will be
considered cheating!
