CATEGORY	INFORMATION
Science Notebook	The science notebook is an important part of science. You will need to write down questions, hypotheses, data and observations, and conclusions in your science notebook. This notebook will document what you do in your lab experiences and help you study for exams and projects.
Quizzes and Exams	There will be weekly quizzes in class. Quizzes will cover the vocabulary and concepts learned during that week. You will also have a final exam at the end of each unit. This exam will cover material from the entire unit. We will always have a review day before the final exam.
Quick Writes	When you come into class, your immediate job is to check the daily agenda and objective. Usually, we will begin with a quick write.
Projects	Each unit you will have a project that will incorporate the ideas learned during the unit. Some projects will be completed in class, some at home, others will require that you do work both in class and at home. Most projects will be done in a group and part of the grade will be based on how well you work as a team.
