Welcome to 7th Grade Science!

This class covers 7th grade science standards.

I teach five sections of 7th grade Science and collaborate with fellow 7th grade science teacher, Molly Harbottle, who has two sections of Science.

Coursework is a combination of independent and collaborative group work. A variety of projects will enhance students’ understanding of Science.

Class Structure/Homework

Classwork and homework are considered practice assignments. Students are expected to complete them but they will not be included in the computation of a student's final grade.

Managing Assignments/Absence Policy

If you are absent, you have as many days as you missed to make up your work (as per Student Handbook).

When returning from absence, check with instructor(s).
