This course is dedicated to the study of living things, our place in nature, cell biology, genetics and evolution, health and human body systems, and the process of scientific investigation.
My grade book comprises homework, quizzes, labs, projects, some classwork assignments, and the midterm and final exams. Most of your grades will come from quizzes, on which you will receive a few days' notice, and which tend to assess one or two weeks' worth of information. Lab reports are larger assignments that take several weeks to complete, and which "count" a little more than a quiz. Longer term projects, when given, may receive more credit than a quiz or a lab report.
Moving Along: Fourth Marking Period
We are now into our final unit of the Life Science Curriculum, "Human Body Systems."
Most of the grades will come from quizzes, so students should always study their latest class notes each evening. Quizzes will be given on short notice, pending completion of the appropriate class material.
QUIZ - Cardiovascular System
May 28
I will be chaperoning the 8th grade trip to D.C. May 21-23, so the earliest sensible date for our next quiz will be the day we return from Memorial Day weekend. I am unable to schedule it later in the week due to foregin language finals.
Class notes are attached.
