Welcome to Middle School Science!
We will be working hard this year to make sure science class is both challenging and engaging for all!!
Science Policies and Expectations
Late Work
Homework will be given on a regular basis. The purpose of homework is to review and practice concepts that were presented in class. It is extremely important that students complete the entire assignment on time and to the best of their ability. Late work will be accepted but students will have 1 calendar day to submit work without penalty. On the 2nd day, the assignment will lose 10%, on the 3rd day the assignment will lose 20%. Assignments submitted 3 days late or more will only be worth 50% of the assignment.
Retest/Resubmit
All students may re-submit tests with corrections. Re-submitted tests are due within 3-days of being returned to you. Corrected work along with an explanation (e.g. why the answer is correct) may earn you up to half of your points back. For example, if the original grade was 84, you may earn up to 8 points back.
