Class Policies
Come to class on time!!! Be in your assigned seat and prepared to
work when the bell rings.
Pay Attention!!! Follow directions the first time given.
Talk only when permitted!!! Raise your hand and wait to be
recognized before speaking.
Abstain from eating, drinking, chewing and grooming in our
classroom!!!
Respect the rights and property of others!!!
Remain in your assigned seat unless you have permission to get up!!!
No Cheating!!! Any interaction during a test will be assumed to be
cheating. Your test will be taken away and you will be given a zero.
I will be collecting cell phones on test days.
Plagiarism is cheating too. When doing research, always reference
your sources.
Class Procedures
Every day, bring with you to class
your binder/folder with all class handouts
your interactive science notebook
a pen and pencil
Highlighters/tape/glue/colored pencils
When you arrive in class, please read the instructions on
the board. Then you will know what activities are
planned and what your responsibility is.
Hand in all homework in class, the day it is due. Be sure
your name is on it so that you receive credit.
Most days I will have a “do now” activity on the
projector. You are expected to complete this activity
quietly in your seats as soon as you get to class.
Class Procedures
If you have a question during a lecture, please raise
your hand. This is the polite way to ask a question.
When I am presenting a lesson, please do not talk.
It is extremely rude to talk when the teacher is
teaching.
If you need to go to the restroom during class, raise
your hand for permission and take a hall pass. Only
1 student at a time.
Class Procedures
If we have a fire drill or building evacuation, stay
with your class and teacher. Then I will know
you are safe.
When we go to the library, computer rooms, be
respectful.
If you are with a teacher or administrator, have
them write you a note if you will be late for
class. Then you will be excused for being late.
Class
Procedures
After a lab or activity, you must clean up after
yourself and your group. Points will be deducted if
you leave a mess for me to clean up!!!
I will be presenting PowerPoint lectures for each
unit and assigning activities/labs:
You need to bring your interactive science
notebook (ISN) to class with you every day
You will be taking Cornell notes in your ISN at home
and reflecting on them
You will be performing experiments and writing lab
reports in your ISN
