· The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean

Lab Fee and Lab Safety

· Each student will be required to pay a $10 Lab fee and fill out a Lab Safety Contract in order to participate in the lab activities.

· Online payments are encouraged by going to the following link http://osp.osmsinc.com/colliervilletn

· (Link is also available at the school website www.colliervillehs.org

What I expect from you:

· Keep up with reading and book problems every night! No whining!

· Always follow the safety rules and specific guidelines for each lab.

· Turn in work on time.

· Come in class each day on time, prepared, and ready to go!!

What you can expect from me for each unit:

· Notes - I do my very best to present the content in clear, understandable manner, where we will build on previous knowledge. Notes will be posted 1-2 days before the test.

· Lab – Prelab will be due before the lab and final write-ups will be due after the lab. Safety is a primary concern and safe practices are always enforced. Not following the safety rules may result in loss of lab privileges and a reduced lab grade. A safety contract, quiz, and section in each lab will help to remind of this important aspect of lab!

· Quizzes – give you an opportunity to see how well you know the material

· Tests – The tests are meant to prepare you for the EOC.

Grading:

Grades will be assigned based on total points. The grade will be broken into the following categories: Tests, Quizzes, Labs, Classwork, Projects, Exams, EOC

Make Up Work:

All missed work and assessments are the responsibility of the student when they are absent from school. A student who is absent on the class day before a regularly scheduled assessment will be responsible for completing the assignment on the regularly scheduled day and time. Students who have been absent more than two consecutive days (including the assessment day) will be given five (5) school days to make up the assessment and/or other assignments. This does not include major projects, research papers, etc., where the deadline has been posted in advance. The teacher has the discretion to grant a longer period of time to make up work if there are extenuating circumstances.
