  2. Biographical Information • This is my tenth year teaching • Taught 7th grade science 5 years in Laveen • Taught 8th grade science 4 yrs. at Centennial • Eastern Michigan University alumna • Bachelors degree in Education • Majored in Science • Minored in Art • University of Arizona • Seeking Master’s degree • Teachers in Industry program • Summer internships at APS • Environmental • Safety • Water Resources • Graduating this December!!!!

  3. 8th Grade Curriculum Chemistry •Matter: states, density, boiling point etc. •Chemical and physical reactions •Periodic Table: elements, compounds and mixtures •Structure of the atom Physics • Newton’s laws of motion • Relationship between energy, motion, simple machines, work, and power Cells and Genetics •Cell division, growth, repair •Heredity •Gregory Mendel •DNA, genes, chromosome, genotype and phenotype Ecology • Compare symbiotic and competitive relationships • Behavioral and physical adaptations • Factors that allow for survival

  4. Materials Needed for Class • A green notebook • Folder to hold notebook paper • Loose leaf notebook paper • Writing instruments (many pencils and pens) • Highlighters (any color) • Coloring pencils (optional) • 12” metric ruler (optional) • Scissors (optional) • Glue sticks (optional)

  5. Homework (Practice) • Homework includes reviewing concepts, notes, and objectives • Homework load will vary but will take less than 30 minutes to complete. Late Work • Students may turn in assignments on time for full credit • Students may turn in assignments late for a grade lower

  6. Absences • Participation is imperative to science. • Students cannot take lab materials home with them, therefore missed labs require obtaining data from lab group and missing the hands-on learning. • It is the student’s responsibility to obtain make-up work from my website calendar, absent work bin or classmate.

  7. Standards Based Grading

  8. Learning Goals Based on State standards Drive Instruction Determine student’s grade

  9. (How we grade) Learning Scale

  10. Grades Weighting: 90%Assessment 10% Practice Common Formative Assessment (CFA): measures progress throughout the unit (Quiz) Common Summative Assessment: measures proficiency at the end of the unit (Test)

  11. 3 P’s

  12. Wish List(s) • Pick up sticky from door on way out • Return item to office or with student with sticky note on item • Thank you!
