Science

We are using the textbook Science: A Closer Look. There are links for review on this page. We have lab every other Friday. The lab grade is based on if the student: listens, participates, follows directions, cooperates in groups, and doesn't fool around.

I always give out a review packet to the students for each chapter in science. Some of it will be done in class, some will be done as homework. We go over all of it before each section quiz or test. I strongly recommend knowing these sheets very well.

Study Tips:

Here are some ways to study for science tests: (many ideas are from the students)

Bring home your notebook and review packet, and review a little each night.

Know the vocabulary.

Do the questions at the end of each section and chapter.

Have someone quiz you on the packet, vocab., and notes.

Study with a group.

Make your own test or have someone make it for you.

Review past quizzes, the packet, and notes.

Make sure you know the order of how things occur.

Take the online quizzes.

Reread (skim) the chapter.

When your parents quiz you, ask them to vary the way they ask you, even orally (ex: true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer). Mix up the questions. Ex: "What are three examples of mechanical weathering?" at one point and, "Ice wedging is a type of what kind of weathering?" at another.

Extra Credit:

Periodic Table of the Elements:

(A-C are quizzed together).

Periodic Table of the Elements: good to review overall. No names listed, but if you mouse-over an element, then it will be enlarged in the upper left-hand part of the table and will include the name.
