Earth Science and Astronomy, Fall 2010
Welcome to Science! Ongoing, Unwritten Homework daily is for the student to re-read the day's notes, activities and other information, to use the on-line flashcards or other study aids, and to organize their notebook!
We keep a notebook in class using the format from the book "Where's My Stuff," by Samantha Moss (available on Amazon.com for under $12). Purchase of the book isn't necessary; I will teach them how I want them to organize their notebooks.
