COMPREHENSIVE SCIENCE: COURSE 3
Textbook:
Course Description: Comprehensive science is an integration of Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, and Life Science. Basic scientific methodology, processes, principles and laws for the four core sciences are introduced. Fundamental scientific concepts are introduced, illustrated, and reinforced through guided questioning and discussion, laboratory investigations, data collection, organization, and analysis.
Grading Policy: Student grades are determined by a "total points" system per quarter. Points will be acquired through tests, homework and class work assignments, laboratory exercises, a science fair project and other special projects.
Grading Scale: A 100-90
B 89-80
C 79-70
D 69-60
F below 60
Required Materials: pens/pencils, lined paper, graph paper, calculator, a 1" binder for science fair, and a three ring binder with dividers (2 inch is best) .
Homework: Homework will be assigned on a regular basis. Homework assignments will be posted in class, and on Mr. Anzelmo’s webpage. When the deadline for an assignment is missed, students may receive 50% credit for the late assignment. Students will need to submit the assignment within one school day of the due date, including both a parent’s signature and acknowledgement that the assignment will only receive ½ credit.
It is the responsibility of the student to inquire about any assignments missed as a result of excused absences.
