QUEST TEAM- ACADEMIC SCIENCE



|Mrs. Smith 7th Grade Science- WELCOME ( |

| |

We will be using the Holt Science and Technology series in class along with the online CK12 textbook linked to my teacher page. Both resources have excellent science content and examples that make content relevant to daily life. The Central Bucks Science curriculum meets state and national standards for science and in class we will learn, experiment and focus on developing scientific problem solving skills. Science Units: Ecology, Energy, Matter and Cells.

|Grades: |You will be evaluated using a variety of performance assessments. These will include: labs, group work, classwork, oral |

| |presentations, simulations and District unit assessments. Grades will be calculated by comparing the number of points possible for a |

| |given marking period. * (see Lenape Handbook/Policy on Grading) All lab and major assignments will follow district policy) |

| | |

|Absence: |In the event of an excused absence from class, please obtain all notes and make up assignments. Make arrangements with me to complete |

| |any labs, tests, quizzes etc. Assignments will be posted on the board in class and using the district School Wires site. |

| | |

|Notebooks: |To insure success, all students are expected to keep a notebook. |

| |Notebooks should be brought to class and must include (in addition to all handouts, notes, labs and any assignments) an accurate |

| |record of student’s own grades. |

| |The notebook may be checked periodically. We may use the notebook for open note quizzes… so it is important to be prepared. |

| |Homework: Each day I would like students to take a few moments to review classwork. Occasionally students will need to finish |

| |something started in class, practice or get background on content. |

| | |

|Extra Help: |Throughout the year, as you may need help, make arrangements with me ahead of time and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.|
