Daily Oral Science (DOS’S)
A DOS is a question posed everyday to the class to review,
extend, or introduce a new science topic. The question will be
discussed and answered as a class before the class begins.
The question and answer should be written down everyday.
At the end of the week, all DOS’s from that week will be
turned in to me. Each DOS is worth 5 points.
stay informed and up to date on assignments and test.

Another useful tool is Edmodo.com It is a website and an
app that is set up similar to a social media site that I can use
to connect with my students and share or remind them of
important information we covered in class.
