About Science 9 …The Science 9 course has been designed to develop the thinking processes and laboratory skills needed for subsequent science courses while emphasizing the connections between science, mathematics, and real life. Students will participate in laboratory investigations and projects with the purpose of exploring physics, Earth science, space science, and chemistry.
It fulfills the state of Wisconsin's physical science requirement for high school graduation.

About Science 9 ...All assignments, whether it be a lab, project, test, quiz, or assignment will be aligned to Science 9 Learning Targets (which are also aligned with Wisconsin State Standards). The purpose of these tasks is to increase understanding such that Learning Target mastery can be achieved. Students will be evaluated according to their level of understanding on the following scale:
● Advanced (A, 4): Work demonstrates complete and detailed understanding of the information important to the topic.
● Proficient (B, 3): Work demonstrates complete understanding, but more details are needed.
● Basic (C, 2): Work demonstrates incomplete understanding of the topic and/or misconceptions about some of the information. However, basic understanding is evident.
● Minimal (D, 1): Work demonstrates a very incomplete understanding of the topic or has so many misconceptions that the material appears to be misunderstood.
GradingGrades are calculated based on total points earned on the 4, 3, 2, 1 scale (previous slide)and are cumulative.

NOTE: While homework is not included in a student’s overall grade, its completion is crucial for learning target mastery. If a student chooses not to practice a learning target thru homework, then the lab, quiz, test and/or assignment that IS graded will most likely suffer for it.
Materials Needed● 1 inch Three Ring Binder (must be rigid).● Tabbed Dividers for Three Ring Binder● Loose Leaf Paper● Scientific Calculator (graphing calculators are NOT
acceptable)● EXPECTED (paperless initiative)
Students will use their Arrowhead Google Apps account to create, collaborate on, gain access to, and submit classwork.
● RECOMMENDED (BYOD initiative)A SMART DEVICE (tablet, netbook, laptop, smart phone, iPod Touch, etc.) with WiFi or internet capabilities.
Policies ...If a student misses class for any reason, it is his or her responsibility to find out what was missed.
The teacher will be in her office or classroom by 7:00am each day and materials can be picked up there OR accessed electronically at any time:
Google Online ClassroomMoodle Classroom
An excused absence, provides one class period for each day missed to make it up. Remember your class work is your responsibility.
