Applied Science
Life
is based on the recognition of problems and the search to solve these
problems. Earliest man was confronted with a multitude of problems.
What would he eat? How would he shelter himself from the weather? How
would he protect himself from predators? Solutions to these problems
often determined whether the individual survived to pass along his
characteristics or dies with the accompanying loss of genetic material.
Society
has come a long way. We are still grappling with the same basic
problems, but we have added many more in our search to satisfy not only
our needs but also our wants. All of society's occupations and trades
have come about because we have confronted our problems and found a
solution. Using the physical laws of nature, humans have developed
tools and objects to help us achieve an ever-increasing higher quality
of life. In applied science, students delve into some of the problems
and solutions that have resulted because all technology (applied
science) is based on the search for solutions to problems.
There
will be a minimum of notes in this setting; presentation software along
with overheads will be used to project class notes. Projects, periodic
quizzes and tests will chart student progress; daily work may consist
of oral review, work on specific projects, and occasional written
assignments from the text.
Students will be required to maintain
a three ring binder with all of their notes and assignments. This
binder will contain a section for notes, a section for returned
assignments, a section for labs, and a section for handouts. It will be
collected periodically ( and without prior warning!) and graded for an
organizational grade. Quizzes, project evaluations, and test will be
returned to the teacher after they have been reviewed.
Assignments
may be turned in on traditional loose leaf paper or may be emailed to
me using the following address ceische@esu7.org I will evaluate and
grade these and return them to the student. Daily assignments are due
at the beginning of the class period, not during or after class or
throughout the day. Individual grades will be available on a weekly
basis; all assignments, quizzes, project evaluations, and tests will be
evaluated and returned in a prompt fashion, usually by the next day.
Student grades will be calculated using the following criteria:
Daily assignments 25%
Quizzes and Labs 25%
Tests and Projects 50%
Projects and research papers will be evaluated using a rubric which is given to the student at the beginning of the assignment.
Daily
assignments are due at the beginning of the class period, not during or
after class or throughout the day. No late assignment will be accepted.
