This course is designed to increase the students’ awareness of the planet on which they live. Topics covered include scientific process skills, meteorology, geology, and astronomy, with emphasis on conservation of our natural resources and preservation of our physical environment. *Taken from NBHS Course Selection Guide 2021-2022
*School Wide Late Work Policy:
It is the expectation that students complete and turn in all assignments & assessments on time.
Late work will automatically have 10 percentage points deducted (unless lateness is due to an excused absence). This will be the only deduction permitted for not completing an assignment on time.
Examples:
A project with a maximum grade of 150 points would have 15 points deducted.
A Unit Test with a maximum score of 100 points would have 10 points deducted.
A homework assignment with a maximum score of 50 points would have 5 points deducted.
After the automatic deduction, the assignment would be graded with that point being the highest grade possible.
Minimum Expectations:
Summative Assessments must be submitted by the end of the 9 weeks grading period.
Formative Assessments must be submitted by the end of the unit.
