Global Science is UC Approved! • Global Science meets the 3rd year of the “D” physical science requirement of the University of California. • Global Science meets the RHS one-year physical science requirement for graduation.
How to Pass Global Science There is no secret to doing well in highschool. • Show up every day READY TO LEARN. • Come prepared, pay attention, take notes, participate and ask questions. • DO your OWN work! (Copying/Cheating is NOT learning.) • Review your notes. • Stay organized. Keep all of your papers by date in a binder.
Students need every day… • Paper • Pencil or Pen • A calculator • A Binder
