What is Science Current Events?
Science Current Events was described on the Science Course Requirements handout given the first week of school, that you and your student signed and turned in a slip for. It is done on special paper I provide at the beginning of each trimester – holding on to that paper is part of the responsibility portion of the assignment. I won’t accept them on any other paper, but if that paper is lost, they can ask for a second one but it deducts 2 points off the possible 20 points. The first one is due November 20th, the second one is due March 2nd, and the third one (for 7th gr only) is due June 2nd. It’s always due about 1 weeks before the end of each trimester.) It is to be a summary of a science article in a newspaper, or magazine article that is science related, and dated within the months the trimester covers. It could also come from an internet news site, like CNN.com or MSNBC.com – not just any old web page. It cannot come from TV or general info sites like Yahoo and wikkepedia.
