Mr. Bruscato's Science Classroom Page

I would like to welcome you to my STEM classroom! It is my goal to help you become better thinkers and life-long learners. Each of you has something important to add to the value of our time together, and I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with you. To ensure that class runs smoothly, the following rules will be in effect:

Standards of Conduct:

Follow directions the first time they are given.
Be prepared! (Binder, pen/pencil, work completed, textbook).
Raise your hand and wait to be recognized before speaking.
Respect others, their property, and school property.
Absolutely no gum, candy, or food in the lab.

Consequences: Disregard for these standards of conduct may result in detention or removal from class. In some instances, involvement of parents may result.

Three-Ring Binder Notebook:

Should be kept up-to-date and include all notes, handouts, completed worksheets, and quizzes.

Minor Grades (40%)

(Class work, Homework)

Students must contribute during learning activities in class.
Work must be complete, legible, and on loose-leaf paper.
Late assignments will receive a deduction of 10 points per day. Work will not be accepted after 3 days.
After 3 missed assignments, parents will be notified.

Major Grades (60%)

(Quizzes/Tests, Labs, Projects)

Quizzes may be given at the end of every week or lesson.
Notice of at least 1 week will be given before a test.
Study guides will be provided for all tests.
We will conduct many interesting investigations throughout the year. These may require a written lab report.
Most major projects will be completed in class, but some may be assigned for completion at home.

I look forward to an exciting and productive year!
