HIGH SCHOOL – CHEMISTRY
CURRICULUM PACING GUIDE
 Getting Started
• Students will need the McGraw- Hill Chemistry Textbook, a copy of the Science Notebook
(available to complete online in each lesson, fillable pdf or printable pdf), a Science Journal
(which is a composition or notebook to keep notes in) and a student login for online materials
such as Labs and Assessments. Website https://my.mheducation.com/login Username:
Student first name and ID number (i.e. Stella95834) Password: Sutterpeak1

• Module Assessments can be printed or assigned to take online. Please discuss with your teacher
if you would like the assessments assigned to take online or emailed to you as a pdf to print.

• Students have the option of completing the course by using “Learnsmart/Smartbook” (your
teacher can assign it to you per module) where you have access to all of the textbook material
online and/or can answer all questions online (from the Science Notebook) as well as
assessments, with immediate feedback.

• The textbook or pacing guide will indicate when you should access online materials (videos, CER
charts, additional activities). You can access them by logging in, click on Lessons, click on the
three lines in the top left-hand corner of your course, select the module and lesson and then
scroll down to the appropriate section (Engage, Explore and Explain, Elaborate or Evaluate)
which you can find at the bottom of the page in your textbook.

• You have two options to complete the lab requirement for this class:

o Option 1: Complete labs in this course. There are several labs available in each module.
You will need to complete a minimum of 1 lab per module and turn in the lab sheets to
your teacher. A material list for all of the labs can be obtained from your teacher. Your
teacher will need to assign the labs to your student online account and it is suggested to
look through the available labs for each module (online) ahead of time, choose which
lab(s) you would like to complete, and obtain the materials you need. You can be
reimbursed from your student budget for materials and borrow from the Lending
Library when materials are available (i.e. microscope, etc.).

o Option 2: Take a corresponding lab class through a community partner for the year.
Please talk to your teacher and/or the school counselor for available options.

• The course pacing is designed to allow for an additional day in each module to complete a lab.
So if the module says it takes 7 days, you can take 8 days to include a lab day if needed.
