GILLENTINE, ALLISON

Chemistry, Physics, TAKS Science
Welcome to my class! I am
so excited to be back at Spring Hill, and privileged to have the opportunity to
teach some of my previous students again!
Please feel free to contact me at anytime via e-mail. I check my e-mail before and after school,
and I will do my best to return your e-mail/phone call in a timely manner. Brief course descriptions are listed below.
Physics: The science of
nature, or of natural objects; that branch of science which treats of the laws
and properties of matter, and the forces acting upon it; especially, that
department of natural science which deals directly with the causes (as
gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc.) that modify the general
properties of bodies; natural philosophy.
Chemistry: That branch of
science which treats of the composition of substances, and of the changes which
they undergo in consequence of alterations in the constitution of the
molecules, which depend upon variations of the number, kind, or mode of
arrangement, of the constituent atoms.
Chemistry deals with the changes in the composition and constitution of
molecules.
TAKS
Science: This course is
designed to give students extra assistance to prepare them for the Exit Level
TAKS. TAKS Science is based on Biology
and IPC TEKS. Coursework will include
TAKS related vocabulary, practice questions, laboratory investigations,
projects, hands-on activities and tests in TAKS format.
