that will be useful throughout their
life.

7. COURSE INFORMATION
Earth Science is the study of the Earth and its
neighbors in space. It is an exciting science with
many interesting and practical applications. Some
Earth scientists use their knowledge of the Earth
to locate and develop energy and mineral
resources. Others study the impact of human
activity on Earth's environment and design
methods to protect the planet. Some use their
knowledge about Earth processes such as
volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes to plan
communities that will not expose people to these
dangerous events.

8. Class Expectations
Evaluation and Grades:
Nine weeks grades are determined using a “total points”
system average system, where the semester/course
grade is based on the total number of points earned,
divided by the number of points possible. During a
quarter, a student may earn the following points:
Tests: 100 points per test
Labs: up to 50 points.
Projects: up to 200 points
Classwork/Homework: 20 points per assignment.
Classwork and Homework is usually assigned on a
daily basis.
Projects:
One project may be assigned after each semester and will
count as a test grade.
9. Class Expectations
GRADING POLICY:
Grades are based on total points. So it is necessary for each student to
complete and turn in all assigned work. Total points do not put more
emphasis on tests or homework but on the whole. Each class will have their
own total.
Grades will be determined by the scale established by
Virginia Beach City Public Schools:
