Lab Make Up Policy

If you are absent and miss lab you are expected to make up that lab after school with in a reasonable amount of time. Lab make up dates will be scheduled and announced weekly. Labs can not be kept out for more than 5 school days. Some of the chemistry labs we are doing are available on line and you can actually watch a video about the experiment.

Students who do not make up labs will miss out on content and science process skills. This means that you most likely not be able to understand the concepts covered on learning checks and unit tests.

You may get information from your lab group but this is not an effective way of learning science. If you do not have a science lab present in your journal or an entry is missing you will loose points on your ISN check. You may also watch some of our labs online on the FOSS website for the chemistry only. This is a way to see what you missed but is not a substitute for doing the lab.

REQUIRES GOGGLES * special shoes and hair pulled back	Nov 2	Nov 3	Nov 4	Nov 5	Nov 6
CURRENT LABS FOR THIS WEEK				Design Your Own Lab-Velocity Investigation with lab report	Design your own lab-Velocity Investigation
LABS NO LONGER AVAILABLE
LABS ON THE WAY

Many labs are too long to finish during lunch and are not safe to eat around while investigating. Therefore- science labs will be done after school in chemistry unit to provide you a safe learning environment. Lab Dates will be announced.

These labs and our class resources can be found on FOSS science kits. You will need the teacher password to enter the teacher resources. You may get the password verbally from your teacher and write it down.

TEACHER SCHEDULE:

Teacher is not available during lunch for make up work or lab makeups.

Fridays-2:30-4:00 Lab make up in Mrs. A's room (note: arrive at 2:30-if no one shows up by 3:00 I am going to leave) This will be for labs for that current week or from 3 days back from the current week. Please be dressed for lab. No food or drink during lab.

Concept Explanation/ Need help or reteaching-Please sign up with the teacher in the appointment book. The teacher and the student will agree to a time and date for help.

If you need to have your notebook checked or regraded please make an appointment in the appointment book in our classroom. The teacher and student will agree on a time for the regrading of your notebook. It will take roughly 2 minutes to complete this task. I can take students by appointment during lunch but will limit the number during lunch time.
