We will be using a composition book in science as an interactive notebook. Most notes, labs, classwork, homework and study guides will be done in the notebook. They need to bring this to class every day!
These are unlike any tests students have taken. They MUST study. Students will need to be able to infer and explain concepts. Memorization is not enough. STUDY GUIDES ARE GIVEN AND REVIEWED PRIOR TO THE TEST.
*There are no retakes or corrections for science quizzes and tests.
Videos, and review tools/games are routinely posted in Google Classroom not only to review the day's lesson throughout the unit, but for absent students and to aide in reviewing for quizzes and tests. Students are encouraged to go back through previous posts in Google Classroom as well as reviewing their science notebooks.
Much like in math, students will earn up to 5 points for various homework and classwork assignments. Those points will be reflected and posted in Q.
Please review the scale to see how points are earned, based on percentage correct for work.
Late work, if accepted, will be scored as half of what the score would have been. (example: once submitted and answers checked, if all correct & the score would have been 5 pts, the actual score counted would be 2.5)
