  1. 7th and 8thGradeEARTH SCIENCE

  2. Earth Science • “I turned my mind to try to understand, examine, and comprehend the role of wisdom in the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly.” • Ecclesiastes 7:25

  3. Earth Science • The Earth Science curriculum is designed to teach the students more about the world in which they live. • The unit begins with the origins of science and the men of science (most of them who believed in God and held to the Biblical account of creation). • The students will learn that the earth cannot be studied without first looking at it in context of the entire universe. • The Earth’s motions, the constellations, sun, moon, planets and the exploration of space will be studied before heading back to earth. • The character trait of inquisitiveness will be emphasized throughout the year as we seek to know more about God and his creation.

  4. Materials required daily for class are: • Notebook with dividers, lined notebook paper (81/2 x 11 inches), and pen or pencil. • A red pen or pencil. • A set of colored pencils. • Each student will receive a textbook. Textbooks MUST be covered and brought to class daily. DO NOT WRITE IN THE TEXTBOOK even though there are workbook pages!! • Students will be marked “unprepared” if they do not have these materials each day.

  5. Challenger Museum

  6. Field Trips • A field trip to the Challenger Museum will be incorporated into this class. • There are many labs and activities will be covered in preparation for our NASA adventure to Mars and back. • Stay tuned for more information on this event! We will explore…

  7. The Universe!

  8. SCIENCE CAMP Science Camp will be from September 4th-- 7th this year. During this week there will be trips to Burney Falls, Lassen National Park, as well as science labs, activities, chapels, games, etc., all designed to glorify and learn more about our Creator God.

  10. SCIENCE CAMP

  11. Science Fair • Every spring each student in the 7th and 8th science class will submit a project for the Science Fair. • Outside judges will come and assess the projects and there will be prizes as well as grades given on these projects. • They will be on display for Open House.

  12. Absentee Make-Up Policy • Students who miss school because of illness can have their guardian call the school and request assignment information. • If you know that you will be missing school because of some other reason, please let me know ahead of time so that I can get the work together for you. • Students going on a family trip must notify the school no later than one week before the trip, or it will be recorded as an unexcused absence. • The number of days absent determines when the make-up work is due. (Example—absent 2 days—homework is due two days after returning back to school). All make-up work must be turned in before the student takes the chapter test. • No absent work will be accepted after the test is taken.

  13. Grading • Students will receive 10 points for every homework assignment that is completed properly. • The answers must be written in the form of complete sentences. • Quizzes will be worth 20 points each. • Tests are worth 100 points each. • The student’s grade is a percentage based on points earned divided by points possible. Long term projects points will vary therefore will be announced at the time that they are assigned. • Ask me about “Engrade”!
