GRADES
Your grade in this class will be broken down as follows:
50% = tests
30% = projects
20% = classwork
SCIENCE NOTEBOOK
Most work we do will be done in your science notebook. Your science notebook will be used to study for assessments. You must bring your science notebook to class every day.
HOMEWORK POLICY
Most of our work will be done during class. However, there may be work you were unable to finish during class and will be expected to complete at home.
LATE WORK POLICY
I will accept late work up until the end of an investigation for full credit. Once we start a new investigation, it is too late to turn work in from the previous one.
ABSENCE POLICY
If you are absent, you are responsible for anything you missed. Be sure to check Google Classroom for any digital assignments, and make sure you check the absent trays on the first day you return from an absence for any missed handouts. If you are absent on the day an assignment is due, it MUST be turned in on the day you return to school. Missed tests or quizzes will be made up on the day you return to class.
HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SCIENCE
Do your work.
Study for all tests.
