WELCOME TO physical SCIENCe
Welcome to Science! The units we will cover this year will be NGSS aligned as much as I can - even though we do not have an NGSS textbook
Consistency and organization are keys to succeed in this class.
Grading: My grading policy is simple: Total points earned divided by total points possible.
“A”: Arrival, Attendance, Absence
• Arrival: When we return to school for in-person instruction, temperatures of all individuals entering the classroom will be taken upon arrival. We will follow all pandemic regulations as we progress throughout the year. Until then, please arrive to online class on time.
• Attendance: Attendance will be taken daily at the beginning of our online class. Not logging in will result in an absence for your science class. When you first join, please mute yourself.
• Absences: Online work will need to be completed and turned in. If you are absent and don’t feel well, please send me an email me to check in if you need more time. If I do not hear from you, you will be marked absent.
“B”: Behavior, Books
• Behavior: When first logging in to class, please mute yourself. Turn on your video camera and make sure you have your materials for the day in front of you/near by. Appropriate behavior is expected during online classes. Please have you name tag visible so we can see first and last name clearly.
• Lab books: (70 page marbled composition book of any color) You must write in PENCIL ONLY. Be prepared to tape/glue all of your science work into your lab book as directed. We will continue building our lab book throughout the year. I will help you stay organized with your lab book. I will be available to help you through email and I will make video clips to help you keep your lab book organized while we are learning online. I’m choosing not to do a digital lab book, in hopes to see you in person one day.
• Textbooks: Only PDF’s are available. You need to access all 3. No books will be handed out this year.
“C”: Check grades, Classroom, Cheating:

You must have your first and last name/period/date clearly written on every single assignment turned in - whether it be turned in via google classroom or handing in an actual paper (when we get back into the classroom).
“D” Digital, Daily Agenda :
• Digital Content: make sure your work is authentic. Plagiarism is cheating and will result in a zero.
