1) Become a Lab Captain: (extra credit possible) up to 20 pts.
- Each lab captain has one side of the room to monitor for one month
This includes:
- Sinks (wipe sinks out - clean out drains) / Counters
- Floor /Sweep area (pick up paper, lab materials, pins, etc.)
- Back counter (clean up trash, lab materials)
- Organize & clean up front lab table
- Make sure all chairs are up at the end of the lab
- It is not YOUR job to clean up area, just make sure lab group assigned to area does it.
- If they DON’T DO IT - it’s your job.
- Help pass back papers, assist with class demonstrations, etc.
2) Attend class READY TO WORK: pen / sharpened pencil, notebook and biology book.
3) THINK / QUESTION / INQUIRE & DOUBT / ASK QUESTIONS!
- Remember: There is no such thing as a dumb question.
4) Do not get up in the middle of class to throw something in the trash – Do it before or after class.
5) Think how each topic relates to you and to the REAL WORLD.
6)BOOK:Biology: Holt McDougal. This book is an excellent resource with several interactive quizzes, labs, presentations, e-edition of text, virtual labs, animations, study guides and much more. Become VERY familiar with this website and the resources available to you: ClassZone.com
7) VOCABULARY: Vocabulary is a large part of science; new words will constantly be introduced. Go to the book website – and quiz yourself – over the material daily.
8) LABS: Read instructions carefully. Know WHY you are doing each lab, and whatthe results show. Complete questions from the lab the SAME DAY you do the lab – it is easy to fall behind on notebooks. STAY UP TO DATE!
9)TESTS: Study your notes, labs, take practice quizzes, etc.
Notes:
- Any cell phone that is visible during a test will be confiscated, and student will receive a zero for that test.
- A cell phone being used (texting, etc.) during class will be taken and can be picked up at the assistant principals office later in the day
- Cheating during a test will result in azero – no negotiation.
- I usually arrive at school by 6:45 a.m. If you need any help please stop in during that time or during Wednesday/Thursdayhomeroom, or arrange another time with me
