6thScience “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 Course Description Christians have the best possible reasons for exploring and enjoying the details of nature. After all, we know the One who spoke all things into existence (Genesis 1). Life on Planet Earth has extravagant diversity and remarkable design. From the minute mechanisms that keep the cell alive to the inner systematic workings of organs that keep the larger multicellular organisms functioning order and purpose are evident…the Lord our Maker, is not only a God of order, but of immeasurable creativity. Only He can breathe life into death, bring balance to a fallen world, and provide the necessary grace for the continuance of His Creation (Purposeful Design, “Choices”, Level 6).

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.
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”!
