Science Final Grade for Quarter 2

Hi,

The science grade is weighted and not total points so if you are adding up your points please use the following weighted system. I have changed it from the beginning of school so do not follow the scale on the parent letter from the first day of school. The old scale was the one I used for 8th grade science since they have more laboratory activities. Seventh grade science does not have as many laboratory activities. If you have any questions please let me know. 

Tests & Quizzes 30%

Lab Book Checks 30%

Laboratory Activities 25%

Other Assignments/Projects 15%

Stamp Confusion on Worksheets

A stamp on a worksheet in the lab book means you had the assignment ready when you walked into class. I only stamp assignments that I have asked you to do as homework. When I grade the lab book you get more points for the assignment if I can see that you had it on time. If the assignment is finished but you do not have a stamp you still get points for the assignment but I take a few off since it was not complete at the start of class that day that I stamped the assignment. I noticed some students who cut their papers so they fit nicer in the lab book have cut off their stamp. I will not know if you had it complete on time so if you are a student that cut their stamps off you should come see me. I am going to base it off the honor system and I will re-stamp your paper. I hope this clears up any confusion students might have. If you have any questions please let me know.
