"Nobody likes a messy, disorganized science binder...
oh no, no, no!!!" says Miss Butler ;)
Science Binder should be a 1" 3-ring binder with side pockets kept solely for BIOLOGY and contains all things we've done thus far in the year!
Label your 5 Divider Tabs as follows...
1. Handouts...this section is for papers I will give you [mainly references] throughout the year
2. BW (BellWork)...this section should be looked at EVERYDAY. it's the place where ALL our Class
Starters are located.
3. CW/HW (Classwork/Homework)...this section is for ALL of the classwork and homework assigned...
most of them should be graded...a few will not have grades (since they weren't collected separately)
4. Labs (Labs and Activities)...this section will be for all your lab work, data, charts, graphs, and any
activities we do.
5. Q/T (Quizzes and Tests)...this section is for all your quizzes and tests (they should all be graded)
When I open your Binder, this is what I should see...
1. No biology (or any other subject whatsoever!) papers are stuffed in the "side pockets"
2. Your Composition Book is in the front pocket.
3. Then, I will see your 5 tabs...all correctly labeled and in order.
-each tab should only have the paperwork that belongs in that category
4. Then, I should see your loose-leaf notebook paper, graph paper, & printer paper (either on the ring of the binder, in some type of binder holder, or in the back pocket of the binder).
***Binder Checks***
they are done once a quarter...random, unannounced days for honors classes. standard class will be told when the check will be done.
