Exams: There will be 6 exams scheduled for the course. These exams will consist primarily of objective, multiple choice, and short essay type questions based on the lectures and the readings. All tests may include content from previous chapters; however, emphasis will be content since last examination. Pop quizzes will be administered at the discretion of the instructor. Make up quizzes and exams will be arranged at the discretion of the instructor. Papers: Papers submitted in this course will be written using APA guidelines and must be 3 pages in length, with 1 margins, 12 point font, and double spaced. Students are encouraged to submit their papers to TurnItIn.com prior to turning it in to the instructor. TurnItIn is a web application that will review your paper for plagiarism and incorrect references. Labs: During this 18 week 25% of classroom time will be spent in the laboratory. This component of the class will allow students to demonstrate their knowledge on the seven practices on science as well as using cross curricular concepts. The labs are hands on and build from the

4 students inquiry and prior knowledge of the subjects. All observations and investigations will be recorded in a science journal that will be their resource for lab reports and reaction papers. Labs will also be the time to connect the lesson back to the real world. This will done as full classroom discussions on how the students see what they are learning working in the real world. REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS ACTIVITY 1: Fluid Applications DESCRIPTION: Students write a series of questions that they wonder about related to buoyancy and density in real world contexts. In teams of two, the students select one research question. They have two class periods to post their results of the research on a Google Doc. Each team presents their information and any sources of data found to the class. Sample questions are: How do metal ships float? Will a ship full of oil float differently than an empty ship? If an oil tanker develops a leak, why does it sink? How will a ship float in fresh water as opposed to salt water? How and why do hot air balloons work? Would hydrogen balloons float better than balloons filled with hot air? Lab portfolio: Each student is required to keep a lab portfolio. The portfolio may include reports presented in both poster format and video format, as well as components of those alternative formats. Lab reports are expected to include a statement of the problem/ question, a description of the experimental procedure, data and/or observations, analysis (calculations, graphs and errors), discussion, and conclusions. Students are required to write two short essays on physics topics to help develop their ability to explain physics concepts. Two possibilities include asking the students to describe the structure, function, and applications of the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), or asking them to explain how electricity is produced and transported to their house. Essays must include the physics explanations and application. However, the students will have the freedom to choose a topic that fits with their ideal future careers. Activity to Cross Enduring Understandings: Students will design a cardboard boat that will safely allow two passengers to cross a pool and come back. Students must include boat design features and calculations to show how their boat design should float.

7 Cell Phones: Cell phones are not allowed in this class. This includes calls, texting, and any other use. Please turn them off and do not access them during class meeting times. If a cell phone is used during class, the student will be asked to leave and will forfeit attendance points for that day. This will also count against the number of absences allowed in the LU attendance policy. Attendance Policy: Class will begin at the time indicated on the syllabus unless notified otherwise by the instructor. Attendance is mandatory and will work to the students advantage, since most material covered on the exam will be discussed in class. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. Each student is allowed a maximum of two unexcused absences. Additional unexcused absences will result in a 5% deduction from the final grade per absence. Students will be considered tardy if not present at start of class. Three unexcused tardys will result in a 5% deduction from the final grade. Tardiness beyond three will result in a 5% reduction per tardy. Students who miss class are responsible for reading and/or completing assignments as indicated. The instructor is not responsible for repeating any missed lectures and/or presentations. It is the student s responsibility to arrange in advance for class notes, handouts, and other relevant materials to be used for the missed class period. It is the student s responsibility to prepare for missed class material that may be included on respective exams. Assignments: All assignments must be turned in as scheduled by the instructor. An assignment is considered late if not turned in at the beginning of class. Any late assignments will be accepted at the instructor s discretion. If accepted, a 10% reduction of the grade per day will be applied. Instructor is not responsible for any assignments not handed in during class times. This includes assignments put in mail boxes, under doors, or given to any other person besides the instructor. Academic Dishonesty: All acts of dishonesty in any work constitute academic misconduct. This includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication of information, and abetting any of the above. Academic misconduct represents unethical behavior unbecoming to college students. Therefore, there is no tolerance of such behavior. Academic misconduct may result in a failing grade for the course. Discipline for academic misconduct is outlined in the Lincoln University student handbook, Library: The high school library and Lincoln University s Page Library provides a number of print and online periodical databases for student research use. Visit the library for additional information. To view the LU available databases, visit Page Library website: Disability Services: It is the policy of Lincoln University to accommodate students with disabilities, pursuant to federal and state law. Any student with a disability who needs accommodation, for example in arrangements for seating, examinations, note taking, or access should inform the instructor at the beginning of the course. Any student who feels that he/she may need an accommodation, please contact Cynthia Ukoko, ADA Coordinator, Counseling and Career Services, Bibliography: Hickman, J.B. (1991).
