Assignments for the week of May 26, 2009 Biology Pig Dissection Questions Chemistry Physics
Updated on May 26, 2009 |
The Last Six Weeks School supplies list: Kleenex and paper towels Physics needs: Scientific calculator doesn’t need to be
graphing Biology needs: Colored pencils Chemistry needs: Scientific calculator doesn’t need to be
graphing .
Although I issued all students a textbook
and make reading assignments, I remind students that the book is a reference
and it reinforces the lessons from class.
The student doesn’t need to bring the book every day, only on the days
that I indicate. I expect the students
to take notes when I lecture. If your student is absent from my class, he
or she needs to come to tutoring after school on Tuesdays. This is especially important if the
student is in physics. “I was absent, therefore I didn’t get/do the
assignment”, will not be an excuse to get out of the assignment. If the
student has missed class, then he or she is expected to get the assignment
from the crate in my room. Failure to do so could result in after school
homework detention. If a student
misses a test he or she is expected to make it up on their own time within a
week of returning. They shouldn’t miss any more class time for make-up
work. Late work receives a maximum of
50. I also offer online tutoring on Sunday
night starting at 7PM. If you want to
participate; I need your email address so I can send you an invitation. I try to give at least two tests each six
weeks. The number of daily assignments
will vary with the subject and grade level. Tests count for 50% of the six
weeks grade and daily work/homework counts for 50%. Labs and quizzes are
daily work. The students can correct
daily work which has a failing grade for a maximum grade of 70. I will do my best to keep this site updated
for you. If I have to change my lesson
plan at the last minute, then the students are expected to follow what I gave
them in class. Students sometimes have the idea that
science is too hard and they give up easily.
I want to make it fun for them, but I tell them that we can’t do the
fun until we have done the not so fun part.
Biology is very interesting, but can be difficult. The concepts of chemistry are usually new
to them and they have to concentrate more to understand, not memorize. Physics challenges the students
mathematically. |
