Introduction to Physical Science (IPS) (Period 1)
Course Description
Welcome to your Introduction to Oceanography Webpage. This resource is designed to be a place where you can find pretty much everything you need to pass this class (other than hard work and desire - that part's up to you to bring).
This will be the place to go when you miss school, need homework, and/or need lecture notes and study guides for an upcoming test. This site will also contain links and other files designed to help you.
As your teacher, it will be my responsibility to stay on top of this resource and make sure that I give you everything you need to succeed in my class. Typically, I post everything a week in advance to provide students the opportunity to prepare for the week. This gives students a chance to print notes ahead of time if they want or to simply organize their week ahead on Sunday night (which, by the way, I highly recommend).
As a student, it is your responsibilty to check in with this site if you miss school or need anything, and to communicate with the teacher (in advance, whenever possible), when you are having trouble, need extra support, or require extra time to complete an assignment.
Click one of the Homework buttons below to go to posted Lecture Notes and homework assignments. To find a past assignment or file that is past due, find and click the button in the upper-right corner of the Homework Page that says "All Homework".
