Assessments Tests are announced approximately one week in advance. The amount of material presented in this course cannot be mastered in a single night; therefore, it is strongly recommended that students start studying well before the date of the test. Students who are absent must make arrangements with me to make up a missed test as soon as possible.

Homework Homework is an important tool to reinforce concepts learned in class. It will be assigned approximately 3-4 nights a week. If your child is absent from class, the assignments will be posted on my teacher website.

Homework is graded as follows √++ 100% √+ 85% √ 78% √- 72% √- - 67% 0 0

Class activities Hands-on group labs Interactive SmartBoard activities Visual aides such as: – Videos – Animations/Simulations – PowerPoint presentations Note taking skills

Extra Help Extra help is offered in science by appointment. Your child should make every effort to make arrangements with me if needed. I am available for extra help after school and during academic support lab.

Teacher Website Homework is posted weekly Textbook link with chapter summaries and the glossary Helpful science topic links Contact information Student Contract Science current events

Thank you for your support during the school year!
