Announcement 4.29.12
Students have taken their first assessment (test) this quarter. They may retake this test anytime (during T2R, in class (pending lesson that day), at lunch or after school). They must retake this test on/before Friday, May 11th. I am putting deadlines on test retakes so students study and do not wait until the last minute (end of quarter) to retake. In addition, many times the content covered on the test is not covered in detail after that point in class.
Students must have the following assignments turned in and have a score of a "2" on their work to retake. Late work is accepted! Extra copies of the assignments can be found in the "Science Notebook-4th Quarter" section under the "Science Binder" tab. Copies available in class too!
- Atmosphere Vocabulary
- Layers of the Atmosphere Notes
- Earth's Atmosphere Notes
- Model of the Earth's Atmosphere
- Study Guide- Atmosphere
