How will the week be organized?
What are the Key Terms to Know?
Each week you will have approximately
10-20 Key Terms to know.
 Key Terms will be given on the first day of
the week, which is usually Monday.
 You will be tested on the Key Terms on
the last day of the week, which is usually
Friday.

What if you are absent?
I will hand you the Missed Work only
after you request it the following day.
The computer grade book will reveal a
ZERO’s for any missed graded work.
 The ZERO’s will be removed when YOU
turn in the completed missed work to me
(3 days maximum).
 You may copy the information from a
classmate during class or see me before
or after school for missed work.

How do I make up missed labs or
other classwork?
Write a 1 page paper on a topic/article I
will give to you in class.
 Complete the activities during “rest” on
Friday’s after the test, or
 Complete the activities, when possible, as
homework.

any substance (food) that can be
metabolized by an animal to give energy
and build tissue or
 any substance (such as a chemical
element or inorganic compound) that can
be taken in by a green plant and used in
organic synthesis.

6. Organic nutrients

the necessary building blocks of various
cell components that certain organisms
cannot synthesize and therefore must
obtain: carbohydrates, protein, lipids and
vitamins.
7. Inorganic nutrients

A number of elements called minerals
which are essential for the growth of living
things such as: calcium, iron, potassium,
sodium, and zinc. Water is included in this
category.
59+ elements

Organic nutrient which is the main source
of energy found mostly in plant foods.
Fruits, vegetables, grain products, dry
beans, nuts and seeds all have this
nutrient.
