Welcome to Mr. E. Science
We've flipped the classroom! That means that we listen to the lectures at home & do the "homework" in the classroom!
8th & 7th graders have a test Wednesday (1/29). Stay current on your "Need to Knows"- Greek & Latin, CHI and Classifications. We are moving "Boulders" this year & the "Rocks" and "Pebbles" will roll into place!
Plan ahead & budget your time, and for goodness sake - don't fall behind! This will lead to success.
Your trimester grades will be calculated: Tests/Exams 35%, Homework/Labs 60%, Participation 5%.
