I do not often give daily homework in science class. However, occasionally homework is assigned and it is the student's responsibility to be aware of due dates. Also, if daily classwork is not completed during classtime, it is to be completed as homework that night for the next day.
Most assignments are to be placed in the student's science notebook and will not receive a separate grade (and will not show up individually in PowerSchool). These assignments will be completed and added to the student's science notebook right away. Notebooks will only be collected twice a quarter, around mid-terms and at the Firm Deadline at the end of the quarter. A running list of expected notebook assignments is maintained on the home page of this site. For assignments that are turned in separately, students must clearly label all work with their full name, teacher's name, class & period, date, and assignment title. Failure to properly label work will result in a lower score, or if work cannot be identified, a score of "Missing" (50%). Headings should be in proper MLA format. As per the general 8th-grade Homework Policy, if the student does not have homework for a specific class, they should either read or work on the Khan Academy for a minimum of 40 minutes every night.
