ORGANIZATION
Throughout the course of the semester, you will be
keeping your work from the course.
I recommend a science notebook to facilitate studying for the final at
the end of the semester, as well as making it easier to organize your packets
upon the completion of a unit.
Please follow the format below and have your notebook available for
inspection in class on _____________________________.
MATERIALS:

During a unit, file your notes, worksheets, homework, labs,
etc., in this section. It should
be arranged in the order the assignments appear on the stamp sheet.

At the end of the
unit (approximately every two weeks) you will empty the contents of the
sections in order to put together your unit packet. Unit packets may be placed in the ÒOld HW PacketsÓ section
