Assignments Grading Procedures Projects 8B Science has numerous topics and projects that encompass an entire year. We will begin the year with weather and end the year with the body and genetics. We will see how all these topics relate to the real world and everyday life. All parents need to read and return this sheet as well as a breakage fee agreement. If your child has not used their breakage fee before the end of the year, they will be able to apply their money toward their science fair boards.
Every student needs to have two notebooks - one for everyday work and one for current events.
Current events are due every Thursday unless told otherwise. They need to find a science article either in a newspaper, magazine, or internet. Cut out the article and attach the article in their notebook. Write five complete sentences summarizing the article and three complete sentences giving your opinion. Current events will either raise or lower a student's grade in a quarter.
