What do we need to be prepared for science class?

You should always come to class prepared with a pen or pencil (including an 
extra), your binder with looseleaf, and your HW journal with your HW 
completed from the night before.

How often is homework given?

Homework is given almost every single time we meet in science class.  You 
should always be writing your HW assignment in your journal so parents can 
check it each night.

When is homework due?

A homework assignment is due the next class after it was given.  We will go 
over homework each day and it will be checked.  The homework journals will 
be collected approximately every 2 weeks- I will let the students know a few 
days in advance and I will also post it on our announcements page.

How often will we have tests?

Tests will be given approximately every 2-3 weeks.  Students will have 
plenty of time to study and will never be surprised by a test.  I will also 
post test dates on our announcements page.

Will we be doing science experiments in class?

Yes, students will be participating in many different class experiments as 
the year progresses.  These hands-on experiences will be both fun and 
educational.

Is there extra help available for homework and tests?

Of course! Students are more than welcome to come to me with any questions 
regarding homework and tests.  I am always available in the morning before 
class, during lunch, and after school.

What happens if I am absent for a test or quiz?

As I stated in the parent letter and science contract; if you are absent the 
day of a test or quiz you are expected to take it the very next class period 
you are present unless you have a note from the doctor.  If you do have a 
doctor's note then you will be able to take it in the next class period after 
you return.

What happens if my homework is late or incomplete?

If you do not come to class prepared with your completed homework assignment 
you will receive a zero for that homework but you have one day to make it 
up.  If homework is more than 2 days late it will not be accepted.  If your 
homework is incomplete you also have one day to complete it, if you do not 
the incomplete will stay.

What is the procedure for late projects?

When a project is assigned you will always be given a due date.  If you are 
absent the day it is due you can hand it in the next day with no questions 
asked, however, if you are present and do not have your project on the due 
date you will lose points and have only one day to make it up- after two days 
it will not be accepted.
