Museum and Book Assignments

These are the assignments for the extra credit work in my Biology and Physical Science classes. All students must have a signed permission form and receipt attached to their work to receive credit for the museum work.

Select the assigned museum or other activity from the Table of Contents and print out the permission form, travel information, and the work sheet.

Remember! In order to receive credit for this work you must:

  • Attach a signed permission form to your work sheet.
  • Attach a ticket or receipt to the work sheet.
  • Return the completed assignment to me by the last class day of the quarter.
  • Remember! You must answer all the questions in your own words even if you work with other students. Plagiarism will result in no credit.
When the extra credit assignment is a book reading, students must make an appointment to speak to me about the book and their writing assignment. Generally students will be required to write a one page typed essay on some specific topic based on the material in the book.
