The End is Near!
On Monday, Biology students will have their last science quiz, covering Chapters 23 and 24. This covers the Nervous System, Endocrine System, and Health (metabolism, nutrition, disease, and drugs). The quiz will be a 40-word crossword puzzle on vocabulary and basic terms from these chapters, including anatomy and related terms. There will also be one essay question. Students are welcome to use ALL class notes and worksheets for this quiz, as well as flashcards if they prefer. I will be bringing in cards that they turned into me. The quiz is worth 45 points, although there will be two extra credit essay options worth up to ten bonus points. Students should still study our Powerpoint slides, though, their class worksheets, and their chapter homework. As in the past, I take almost all quiz questions from that material since that is where their time is mostly going :) On Wednesday, Mrs. Stanford has graciously offered to give us her time to discuss nutrition and health with students!! On the last day of class, students will receive their quizzes back in addition to all assignments they have handed into me. There will be one more extra credit opportunity offered--a class activity that is optional. I am aware that some students will not be here on May 14, and that is absolutely fine :) I will also be collecting any late work and extra credit assignments (Chapter 25 SRQs). All final work is due on this day. I will not be accepting emailed files of late homework without a parent-teacher conference. Final Grades: I am aiming to have grades finished the week after school, Monday May 20. I cannot guarantee grades by the last day of class because I still have lab manuals, late homework, and extra credit assignments to tabulate. However, if your student is concerned about their grade, I do have them calculated up to this point and you/they may request it. This final grade is actually their semester grade, for Winter/Spring 2018. When I email parents next week, I will also include their final, 4-quarter average grade so you can use that for your high school records.
