  1. JGHSEarth Science Periods 1/2B & 3/4A Mr. Greening, Ms. Swan, Ms. Lis 2019-2020

  2. My Website • Mr. Greening’s Science Site • Currently working on transitioning to Google Sites.

  3. My Goal = An Inquiry Approach • “Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” • Make students think deeper and work harder than they think they can My Philosophy Self-Efficacy: “With effort, every student can succeed.” “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Teamwork & Respect: “Don’t be in such a hurry to condemn a person because he doesn’t do what you do, or think as you think. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today.”

  4. Respecting alternative perspectives

  8. Earth Science – Book(s) • Textbook: Online: https://www.ck12.org/book/CK-12-Earth-Science-For-High-School/ • Lab Book: Explorations in Earth Science (This book should never come home!)  • Barron’s Review Book: may be purchased on own. Helpful way to practice prior tests.

  9. Lab Policy • A minimum of 1,200 minutes (30 lab hours) of hands-on lab work is required to be eligible for the Earth Science Regents Exam in June • Some labs will require a formal write up • Others will require discussion questions only • There will be no warnings for misbehavior in lab. Student safety is paramount, so any misbehavior will result in student expulsion from the lab • The expelled student will receive a zero and no credit for that lab • Continued misbehavior may result in the student being removed from the course

  10. Earth Science • Extra Help: I will be available for extra help the following days & times: • Monday and Wednesdays after school: 2:45-3:30 • Every day: Periods 5 & 6 in Room 228, or Pd 7 in Room 120 • Contact Information: (631) 266-5410 (HS Main Office) email: rgreening@elwood.k12.ny.us
