In seventh grade science you will be exposed to the major areas of Biological Sciences following the science curriculum map that is set by District 117. Topics that you will cover include: cells, zoology, botany, genetics and ecology. As we investigate these areas of science, you will acquire a good foundation of knowledge through various lab activities, projects, class work and discussions.
Classroom Procedures
Class Expectations
The rules for the classroom are:
1. Be Responsible
2. Be Ready (on time with all materials)
3. Be Respectful
These rules will be discussed at the beginning of the year and you will understand how they apply in each and every situation. You will also be made aware of the consequences. You must have YOUR assignment notebook with you in order to leave the room.
Homework
Generally, homework will be assigned every day. If there is not an actual assignment that is sent home, you should work on vocabulary, extra credit articles, familiarizing yourself better with the notes from that day and organizing your binders. If the assignment is turned in past the due date, your grade will be lowered on that assignment. Your assignment notebook will be checked daily and signed off by Mrs. Carey.
Grading
Grades for this course are not weighted, and will all be averaged in together. These assignments include tests, quizzes, projects, laboratories and any other materials collected.
The following grading scale will be used:
A = 100-93
B = 92-86
C = 85-78
D = 77-70
F = 69-00
Progress reports will be sent home midway through each quarter. These will need to be signed and returned only if the grade is near failing (D or F).
Absences
If you are absent you will have one day to make up work for each day that you are gone. I keep a binder that has a record of what we did each day and what the homework was.
If you know in advance that you are leaving for a period of time, I can prepare some of the work for you to take along. The sooner you can let me know, the better I will be able to organize the materials.
Extra Help
There will be a weekly study session on Tuesday mornings from 7-7:45*. I also generally stay after school until around 4:00 pm. Please do not hesitate to ask for help if you are having difficulties with any of the science homework.
* There is no bus service at this time.
