2. Extra Credit Looking forward to this year!
Be Respectful of others and your environment. You are not the only one here to learn.
Fail Lovingly and Fail often. Science would not exist without failure.
No negative self talk, or negative speech towards others. Negativity is contagious.
Come prepared and follow all safety procedures. Sometimes science is dangerous.
Extra Credit
Students will all have the same opportunity to earn extra credit this semester. This semester, I have simple scientific current event reports for students to fill out and turn in for extra credit.
