Mr. Perezs Keys to Success in Science

• Students should
• Review the class notes and homework sheets daily
  (even if homework is not assigned or finished in
  class). ALL of the answers on homework
  assignments can be found in the notes.
• Take detailed notes when collecting data during
  labs. Refer back to the notes when answering lab
  questions. Participate!
• Attend extra-help (and bring binders to review
  the class notes or homework assignments).
• Look over and review the End-of-Unit reminder
  sheets, which will be given out about one week
  before each unit test.
• Study the notes (as opposed to just reading
  through them).
• How? Index cards are a great for vocabulary
  building, but have your child explain the
  open-ended questions to you (which will be listed
  on the End-of-Unit reminder sheets).
• 6. Complete the Castle Learning assignments days
  before they are due, NOT on the eve of the due
  date.

Multi-Unit Test and Final Exam

• The multi-unit test will count as TWO test grades
  for the second marking period
• The final exam will count as TWO test grades for
  the fourth marking period
• At the end of each unit students will be asked to
  clear out their notes and homework assignments.
• Save these sheets in a folder at home. Find a
  place where they will not get thrown away (like a
  closet).
• We will spend time in school reviewing for the
  multi-unit test. The students will be given
  review packets.
• We will spend one day reviewing each topic at the
  end of the year. The students will have 10-12
  review packets to study for the final exam.
