~~~  Honors Foundations of Physical Science (Grade 9) ~~~

Welcome to Honors Foundations of Physical Science!

Within this page, as you scroll down, you will find the following information that might be helpful for you:

1. A list of the daily logs for the current cycle, including the homework assignments given each day. 

2. A list of important dates for tests, quizzes, projects due, etc.

3. If I can, I will also paste copies of notes sheets given in class, practice questions, and practice worksheets. Please see the attachments at the bottom of the page.

I will make every attempt to update the logs and information on this page daily. At the beginning of each new cycle, the information from the previous cycle will be removed to make room for new material.

I hope you find this helpful. Please feel free to use the e-mail link on this page if you have any questions.

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:
