 * W ****elcome to Mr. Cottrell’s Physical Science Class! **
 * Syllabus: **

We will treat each other with respect and understanding. Disrupting others or the learning environment will be addressed.
 * Behavior Expectations **:

Classroom Rules: 1. Do the Right Thing! (like following directions and procedures) 2. Take care of yourself (build your future and stay safe) 3. Take care of others (respect them and their stuff) 4. Take care of the place (and it’s stuff) 5. Give Your Personal Best! (start by staying on task)


 * Behavior Consequences **:
 * Verbal warnings
 * Demerits
 * Parent communication
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Referral to the Principal

F <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Tardiness is being outside the door when the bell rings. F <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Enter the classroom quietly and immediately go to your seat. F <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Be in your seat when the bell rings and request permission to leave your seat. F <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Bell Work: Read the screen and/or whiteboard, open your Science Notebook and start working at or before the bell. F <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Use the six hand signals when answering questions or making drink and restroom requests. F <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Almost all classwork will be done on specific page numbers in a student created “Science Notebook.” Bring your "Science Notebook" each and every time class meets. <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">(Being out of your seat talking, talking out or wandering when the bell rings or at any time is disruptive and will earn a demerit.)

<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Grading scale: <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">A = 100 to 90% <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">B = 89 to 80% <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">C = 79 to 70 % <span style="color: #000000; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">D = 69 to 60% <span style="color: #000000; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">F = 59 to 0%

<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">50% = classwork <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">40% = tests and quizzes <span style="color: #000000; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">10% = participation
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">Weighted Grading **<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 16px;">:

<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 15px;">Grading rubrics for specific assignments can be found on the class website. Late work should be submitted on the correct page in a Science Notebook for grading and will receive 90% credit for the work done correctly. Please check the class’s website or with another student for make-up work directions. I do not collect or accept loose papers for grading. Long term assignments can be turned in late; however, there is a penalty of 10% per day after the due date. Students are responsible for all assignments regardless of absences. Students will be allowed the length of their absence to make up work without it being late. Homework is usually just work not completed in class. Test and assignment scores can be improved if you are unhappy with what you earned. Tests can be retaken and will receive credit for 90% of what is correct. If possible, have a parent or a guardian show you your grade online at least once a week.
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 15px;">Assignments and Tests **<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 15px;">:

<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 15px;">Students must bring their Science Notebooks each time class meets. A dedicated spiral notebook with at least 70 pages or a dedicated section in a three ring binder will suffice. Almost all of a student’s classwork will be kept in their Science Notebook. Each assignment will be kept on a specific page number in the notebook. At times when assignment grades are recorded, students must show me their work by open their notebooks to specific pages. I don’t collect or accept loose assignments, outside of a Science Notebook, to grade them. Students who refused to do a notebook have not passed this class in the past.
