 What are vocabulary flash cards?
For each chapter I ask students to make flash cards as a study tool. I do 
collect these before each vocabulary test for a grade. The student is to 
write the vocabulary term on the front of a 3 by 5 index card and the 
definition (from the glossary located in the back of the Science textbook) 
on the back.

 Can I retake a test?
I do allow test retakes on almost all tests. It is the student's 
responsibilty to come to the teacher and ask to make it up during "A" Day 
RICA. Retaking the test will cost the student one "Second Chance Pass" and 
the new grade always replaces the first grade (whether higher or lower).

 Is there an opportunity for extra credit?
I offer an extra credit assignment every nine weeks. Details are included on 
the second nine weeks info sheet given out at the beginning of every nine 
weeks.

 When are vocabulary flash cards due?
Vocabulary flash cards are due right before we take the vocabulary test so 
that students may study with them up until test time.

 Is there nightly homework?
Yes! I do not assign written homework every night, but students should be 
studying concepts covered in class that day in preperation for quizzes 
and/or tests.
