Science Fundamentals Course Syllabus

Name _____________________________ Print, Record Scores and Turn in on Completion.

"Students stumbled last spring on the trial run for the science portion of the state's benchmark test of academic achievement, with roughly two-thirds of the middle- and high-schoolers failing to pass muster, according to results released yesterday.That's a bad omen for potential high school graduates in the class of 2010".

This class is designed by aligning the 9th and 10th grade science GLE's with the A+ Lessons used in the West Valley Night School Program. The A+ lessons were then aligned with the Science WASL problems published by OSPI. The result is a class that focuses on the specific science content that the state has identified as important for graduation from high school in the State of Washington.

As you successfully complete each of the A+ Lessons, listed below, you are to solve the released problems found in the three packets that correspond to that lesson. Pick up the problem packets from your instructor. If you get stuck on a problem, you will need to seek help from your instructor or mentor. When all lessons and problems are completed, turn in this sheet and the problem packets to your instructor for final assessment.
