Students will be handed worksheet packets for each chapter and counted as a homework grade which is worth 50 points

Quizzes will be given and they will be announced or unannounced and they are worth 10 points.

At the end of each chapter, exams will be given to see how students progress on the chapter. Each exam is worth 100 points. There may be a point where students will test on more than chapter. I will let the student know in advance.

-
As part of my curriculum, i require labs and projects for all my science classes.
-
Each student will be given a packet that will contain what the lab will be. I hope to do atleast 5 labs in a semester. So a total of 10 labs in a school year.
-
Constructing the lab is worth 20 points and the each lab report is worth 50 points.
-
Each student will be required to use lab safety when assembling the experiment. Lab safety will also count as a grade. It will be worth worth 10 points.
-
Projects: These will be announced in advance to give students time to make the projects.
-
Each Project will have different point values.
-
These projects are designed to give hands-on for students and to expand learning capabilities as while as the labs.

This is a tentative plan for some assignments and projects that the classes will be doing this school year. I have the right to make changes to the any of the assignments and labs/projects. I hope this will be a guide to students and parents to see what assignments, projects, and labs will be doing this year.
Here is some links and videos that are fun and helpful for students and parents! Enjoy
