ALL DEADLINES MUST BE MET! ALL DIRECTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED!

It is essential that you meet every deadline and follow the directions. We only have 4 months to complete this immense amount of work and procrastinating or delaying your work makes the project stressful and awful! All unexcused late work will receive a 0!!! 3 unexcused late assignments will result in semester grade of a C or lower and a G in citizenship. We have these strict deadlines to keep you from becoming overwhelmed. Also, site judging (Marshall’s Science Fair) occurs on January 16th and the Regional San Diego Science Fair is on January 22th & 23th.  City Science Fair is March 31-April 2, State SF is May 18&19.
