Welcome to our 7th grade science class!  Before we get started, there are some things to go over.  Please be aware that this document will also be available on my website.

 

Curriculum

Our science program will now incorporate three-dimensional learning, which is a blend of the content, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts as modeled by the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards).  This is the second year with the NGSS curriculum and I hope for it to be a great experience for our students!

 

Content

  • Unit 1: Earth’s Systems
  • Unit 2: Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems
  • Unit 3: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems
  • Unit 4: Structure and Properties of Matter
  • Unit 5: Chemical Reactions

 

Grading Policy

Assessments = 50 to 100 pts.

Labs = 20 to 80 pts.                

Classwork = 10 to 50 pts.

Homework = 5 to 15 pts.

 

Class Expectations

  • Respect yourself and others!
  • Be on time!
  • Be prepared!
  • Follow directions!
  • Raise your hand to speak!

Please note:

If you do not follow the class expectations, you will receive a warning, phone call home, detention, and if needed, a referral to the office.

 

Materials Needed

  • A pen and pencil
  • A science binder (to be coupled with math)
  • Loose leaf paper

 

Being Prepared for Class

To be prepared for class you must have your textbook, agenda, pen/pencil, binder, and your homework.  If a student is not prepared for class, they will NOT be excused from class.  Lack of preparedness will result in a deduction from their classwork grade.

 

 

Policies and Procedures

  • Come prepared for class and ready to work when the bell rings.There will be a list of instructions ready for you when you enter the classroom.

     

  • Late homework will not be accepted!Homework assignments will be posted each week on my website and are available at all times.Long-term projects will be accepted late, but ten points will be deducted for each day that it is late.

     

  • Grades are available through the Delran Parent Portal.Please contact me if you have any questions concerning the Parent Portal.

     

  • When a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to see the “Missing Work” bin in our classroom for their work.It is also the student’s responsibility to turn in the missing work to the teacher.Students are encouraged to turn in their missing work the next day, but two days will be given.If the work is not turned in within those two days, the student will receive a zero.Be prepared to arrange to stay for lunch/after school to make up labs and other graded assignments.If a student is in school, but misses class for an activity, it is the student’s responsibility to find out what they missed and submit the assignment on time.

     

  • All laboratory and classroom rules must be followed at all times to ensure student safety.Students who ignore safety rules could endanger themselves and others.Students who do not follow the rules will not be permitted to participate in labs/activities until behavior has improved.Students may also be asked to report to the main office if their behavior is unacceptable.
