The ten week/quarter marking period grades will be based upon the student's accumulated point total earned on tests, quizzes, laboratory reports, and homework grades. Although the actual percentages will vary slightly from quarter to quarter, the approximate percentage for each catergory is given below : 

Tests ....................55% 
Quizzes .................20% 
Reports ................ 20% 
Homework ............ 10% 

Although the graded homework counts only 10 percent, it should be realized that failure to do homework consistently most certainly will result in poor understanding and poor performance on tests. 

Also, all students in regents science must be aware of the New York State Laboratory Requirement for admission to regents examination in June (or Jan.) : 
"As a prerequisite for admission to the Regents Examination students must have successfully completed 1200 minutes of hands-on laboratory experience with satisfactory laboratory reports on file."
