.: Notebook Expectations...

All students are required to maintain a Science Portfolio Notebook in a very specific format.  We will walk through the process in class, students will receive a handout explaining the format (also available online), and it will be graded for a summative grade at the end of each nine weeks.  It is expected that the notebook will be taken home and the notes studied 10-15 minutes 7 days a week. The Notebook is a good source of information for you as well.  Please LOOK for the notebook.

NOTE: The notebook requirements are listed on p. 2 below.
