Introductory Note from Bonnie Kookogey
General Guidelines and Information
Mrs. Bonnie has chosen to ask students to read Modules 7 and 8 over the summer at their own leisure. In light of this, these two Modules will not be covered in the filmed classes. Mrs. Bonnie provides the study guides for the Modules under the “Weather and Summer Assignments” page. If you choose to spend time on these Modules during the school year, you can find the tests in the Solutions and Tests book. (See the “Book List” step for more information.)
Syllabus
Download and view the Physical Science syllabus here.
Experiment Summary Forms
Print the experiment summary forms at the beginning of the year and keep them in your notebook so they will be ready to use in class experiments. Please note that the experiment summary forms are written in a landscape rather than portrait orientation, and some printers require that you set the orientation before printing.
Practice Tests
These are the tests in the Apologia Solutions and Tests book. (See the “Book List” step for more information.)
Vocabulary Words
Write down underlined vocabulary words (word-for-word) on note cards for flash card study. Write the word on one side and the definition on the other. Write all formulas on note cards to study. Put the module number and your name or initials in the upper right hand corner of each card (Example: Kookogey, 4). You may order the pre-printed cards from Knowledge Box Central or print from Quizlet.
“On Your Own” Problems (OYOs)
Students: check your OYO questions immediately after doing them (unless your parent directs otherwise). Correct if necessary. Many students prefer to correct answers in a different color so it is clear which answers are the corrections. Your grades should always be based on your corrected work.
Study Guide
Study guides can be found in the Apologia Student Textbook. The answer key is in the Apologia Solutions and Tests book.
Tests
Tests will include material from written homework (mostly practice tests and study guides), but the questions will not be identical and the format may vary somewhat. Students can always use a calculator in a test. Please note that some module tests may be called “take-home tests.” This is because students of the live class completed these module tests at home.
Note-taking
Take notes while watching the video lectures.
