Accuracy and correctness matter in science. In middle school science, very little of what we study is completely unknown; there is generally a right answer. There may be several ways to arrive at the right answer. What this means to students is that working hard and / or spending a long time on an assignment isn’t always enough. The work also has to be correct.
Occasionally, there will be assignments that will be evaluated partially on hard work or effort. Evidence of effort includes, but is not limited to:
1. Neatness
2. Going above and beyond the minimum requirements
a. More than is asked for
b. Indicators of outside research

Copying and pasting from electronic media.
Providing answers to others.
When academic dishonesty occurs:
