Extra Credit guidelines
Here's what you do:Watch a documentary that is "life science" based.
While physics, astronomy and chemistry are useful and interesting, they won't help you in my class.
Examples of good programs are things you might find on National geographic, pbs, bbc, animal planet, planet green and the science channel.
Many of these programs can be watched on your computer at your leisure.
You can complete four per each 6 week grading period.
You are basically summarizing what you watched.
Write a sentence or two during commercials, or every 10 minutes if it's online, to describe what's happening in the documentary.
At the end let me know the overall purpose or intent of the documentary and what you got out of it. It's meant to be a reflection on what you just watched.
TRY TO CHOOSE THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU IN MY CLASS!
Topics we'll be covering in class: the cell, genetics, heredity, ecology, organic compounds, health and disease, classification of living organism, protein synthesis, plant structure and reproduction.
MAN VS. WILD is acceptable once every 6 weeks grading period.
