Extra Credit Available:

There are 2 options, and a student is allowed to complete one of each of these per cycle (for a total of 2 extra credit assignments per cycle). For each extra credit assignment, a student can put credit toward a missed homework assignment, OR add 10 points to a quiz, OR add 5 points to a test.

Option 1- Read an article (newspaper, magazine, or internet) that is related to physical science (physics, chemistry, or earth science). Make sure to provide bibliographic information for the article (title, author, publication or web address, and date) or a copy of the article. Write a 1-paragraph summary AND a 1-paragraph response. A response is where you discuss what you found interesting, connections you’ve made to other topics, opinions on the information, or questions/ideas that the article brought up. You could also use a video or television program/movie for this assignment.

Option 2- Use all of Principal Zito’s words of the day for the week (that must be at least 5 words—borrow words from a previous week if you must) in a paragraph to describe a concept we are currently learning or an activity that we are currently doing in science class. The words of the day can be found by following the “Principal Zito’s Word of the Day” link on the Grasso Tech main page, or follow the link below:
