7th & 8th Grade Science – Mrs. Luce
Supplies:
3-ring binder (1” )and/or pocket folder exclusively for science
a highlighter
earbuds for class
pencils, erasers, and a small sharpener
box of colored pencils
General Information and Procedures:
You need to bring y the above supplies to class everyday (especially PENCILS). We do not use a textbook so the binder/folder is VERY important and serves not only as a notebook, but will also contain supplemental material that has been given to the class. As such, this does need to be brought to class and home EVERYDAY!!
You will not receive written homework every night, however, you should be reviewing notes and materials, in your binder, on a daily basis. You should spend approximately 10-20 minutes a night on this task. This should improve your comprehension of the material and prepare you for class discussions, activities, and assessments.
Late assignments will not be accepted as we have already gone over the assignment and corrected it the day it is due (no penalty for an absence).
Grading (GRADES DO NOT GET ROUNDED UP)
30% quizzes/small assignments
20% homework/classwork
50% tests/projects (some projects count as quiz grades)
4. Keep your binder organized by date (oldest material on top). No binder dividers should be used.
5. Cheating will not be tolerated. Students caught trying to give or receive answers will receive an automatic ‘0’, as well as a progress report. This applies to homework, as well as tests/quizzes. Talking about a test that other students have not taken is considered cheating.
6. Please check Real Time (grades are updated weekly, witht he exception of the 1st 2 weeks of each marking period to get enough grades). Grades are not rounded up by decimal.
7. School Grading Scale:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 65-69
F = 64 & below
General Class Rules:
