Course Name and Grade Level: Chemistry – 9 American Name of Course Facilitator: Inaam Intabli Email of Course Facilitator: [email protected] Number of Teaching Periods per Week: 2 ____________________________________________________________________________ Course Outline Atoms, the smallest unit of matter, are made of subatomic particles. The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus while the electrons are floating around in clouds. All information about all elements is found in the periodic table. Two or more elements can bond together to form compounds that have specific properties. A compound can be made out of simple mono-atomic ions, polyatomic ions or both. Many compounds exist in nature but we almost focus on organic compounds especially hydrocarbons. This course prepares students to be constructive thinkers with lab assignments that require them to synthesize, and analyze information as well as apply taught concepts to other situations. Lab activities and other projects are done in cooperative groups. Students need to be collaborative workers in order to complete these tasks efficiently. Course Learning Outcomes

§ Students will learn that valence electrons of atoms are involved in forming chemical bonds.

§ Students will understand that atoms bond together by ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds. These bonds reflect the properties of the compounds formed.

§ Students will learn that substances react chemically in characteristic ways with other substances to form new substances (compounds) with different characteristic properties.

§ Students will understand that in chemical reactions, the total mass is conserved. Substances often are placed in categories or groups if they react in similar ways; metal is an example of such a group.

§ Students will discover that in most chemical and nuclear reactions, energy is transferred into or out of a system. Heat, light, mechanical motion, or electricity might be all involved in such transfers.

§ Students will learn that chemical compounds can be classified by the bonds they contain: ionic bonds or covalent bonds. They will also find out the distinguishing properties of each type of bond.

§ Students will learn about polyatomic ions and how they combine to form bigger and complex compounds.

§ Students will explore some of the properties and reactions of acid and bases which are two classes of compounds that form ions in water solutions. In fact, they dissociate in varying degrees.

§ Students will understand that all organic compounds contain carbon atoms and hydrocarbons make up the simplest class of organic compounds, they are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen.

§ Students will discover that nuclear reactions convert a fraction of the mass of interacting particles into energy, and they can release much greater amounts of energy than atomic interactions.

§ Students will learn that fission is the splitting of a large nucleus into smaller pieces while fusion is the joining of two nuclei at extremely high temperature and pressure, and is the process responsible for the energy of the sun and other stars.

§ Students will understand that radioactive isotopes are unstable and undergo spontaneous nuclear reactions. The decay of any one nucleus cannot be predicted, but a large group of identical nuclei decay at a predictable rate. This predictability can be used to estimate the age of materials that contain radioactive isotopes.

Course Name and Grade Level: Visual Arts – 9 American Name of Course Facilitator: Lili Moubarak Email of Course Facilitator: [email protected] Number of Teaching Periods per Week: 2 ____________________________________________________________________________ Course Outline • Grade 9 Visual Arts course has been designed to provide students with a wide range of

arts learning experiences. This includes the opportunity to develop practical skills, knowledge of art, theories and concepts as well as to involve students in their own learning and development process.

• Students are encouraged to plan and develop their own creative ideas independently. In this way, the students’ process journal is an integral part of the Visual Arts course as it is a place for students to discover, develop and explore ideas, experiment with materials, solve problems, reflect on work and grow as artists. In essence, it should tell the story of the unit and process from start to finish and may include tasks such as sketches, mind maps, artist research and reflective writing.

• Students will develop a variety of practical skills, working in both traditional and digital art forms, including drawing, painting and digital photography. These practical skills are developed concurrently with critical skills, where students look at the work of others and learn both to write about their own work, and to talk about it, employing task-specific vocabulary. They will also develop the ability to identify areas of improvement in their own work and how best to achieve them.

Course Learning Outcomes

• Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to: • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of a variety of artists and art movements • Show understanding of arts elements and design principles • Communicate critical understanding of techniques, styles and art making disciplines • Develop ideas, themes or interpretations into personal and expressive artworks • Apply skills, techniques and processes to create and present artworks. • Reflect critically on their own and others art making • Evaluate the quality of artworks • Support, encourage and work with their peers in a positive and constructive way • Apply legal and ethical art practices when creating or sharing art

Assignment Criteria and Methods of Assessment • Knowledge & Understanding 30% • Skill Development 30% • Application 40%

EIS Visual Arts in the MS is assessed on each of the above criteria in each Unit. A student is awarded a final level, which is recorded in the end-of-trimester report. Students maintain not only a visual record of their work over this period, but also a record of their research and idea development in their Process Journals. Students complete a range of assessments, both formative and summative, over the course of each of the Units. These take the form of planning exercises, formative assessment exercises, photographs of the completed final work, along with summative assessment work.
