Assessment
A typical Unit’s assessment will consist of unmarked “Quick Quizzes” designed to determine student understanding before formal assessment. Each Unit will also include a Mid-Quiz and a Final Exam that will count towards final marks.
Grades in Science are cumulative and continuously build as the year progresses. Each report card mark will be a reflection of the entire year’s performance.
Grade Weighting
Unit Exams and Mid-Quizzes 60 %
Projects and Lab Reports 10 %
Science Fair 10%
