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%
