Final Science Goals

My Science Goal:

To be able to remember the exact details of the requirements of projects and tests and apply it. In my food project, I noticed that, I put only one picture of every food I eat because it is the same mostly. Now I see that we had to put pictures of our food for every time we eat not just every one food. This mistake has shown me that I need to remember such details. I am quite capable of memorizing my homework except for math though in certain amounts of pressure, I tend to forget. So I need to revise my goals from before and combine it to have the goal I need to acheive before going to High School.

How will I acheive my goal

1. I will attempt to finish my homework first so that I may have more time for my projects to try and revise and edit it

2. I will use my textbook and my notebook to cross-reference the facts I need for my projects so that I will not forget any detail

3. If I have a question about the project, I will ask the teacher, Ms.ZM or one of my classmates

4. I will write side notes in my planner [in my phone, laptop or another notebook [sometimes even my science notebook]

5. I will write due dates in my planner and calender [in my phone, planner, and laptop]

6. I will have alarms each day to remind me to do my homework and projects at a certain time

7. I will remember to put alarms in my phone and write due dates in my calender and planner

8. I will ask my mother to remind me to do as mentioned above

Checkpoint!!! How will I stay Focused

I will do as mentioned in steps 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to remind me.

How will I know that I have accomplished my goal

I will get high scores on the Infographic and upcoming projects as well as tests, formatives and activities. I will also have more freetime.

When

I will accomplish this goal by the end of the school year

My Science Goal for 8th Grade 2015

My Science Goal:

To be able to provide details and facts that are related somewhat distantly to the main focus. I usually write a lot about the main focus but I only describe it; I don't really go in-depth and actually connect it to another fact that is related to the main points.

An Extremely Detailed Family Tree

How will I accomplish my Goal:

1.) I will study my textbook and my notes to cross-reference them for formatives as well as tests and projects

A Collection of Post It Notes

2.) I will note down the important details in the textbook that we do not really go in details

3.) I will attempt to converse with my brother about what he is doing in Science when possible and I will cross-reference what I have learned in school with what my brother has learnt so that I may understand more since I usually add a lot of details.

4.) If I do not understand a specfic detail that is important, I will ask my teacher, brother or mother

5.) I will try to research topics in advance so that I may have questions that does relate, distantly, to what we learn in class so that it may help me understand further about the topic

6.) I will also write what we have learned and some side notes on the topic in my journal/my other notebook

Checkpoint!!! How will I stay focused:

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini [My Phone]

1.) I will set up a study schedule so that I may be organised with my work and divide it so that I may have a period of time to study science only

2.) I will set alarms in my phone so that it goes off for every period of time for when I need to study

3.) I will write a digital post it note for me so that I know the dates in which assignments are due on and when the tests are so that I can study for it.

How will I know that I have accomplished my Goal:

Exceeding Expectations/Meeting Standerds Test Papers

I will know that I have accomplished my Goal when I get E and Ms on my test papers in class as well as the projects and lab reports.

When will I accomplish it:

2015 Calendar

I will accomplish my goal by the end of March.

Plans:

I will reflect every Friday evening on what I have done in science and if I am close to accomplishing my goal. I will write my reflections in my daily journal.

New Goals!!!

Skill: Speaking Fluently and Summarizing
I will speak fluently and do a short summary instead of going into full detail.
I will know when my goal has been achieved when I can speak fluently without stuttering or making a speech and I will not need to practice my speech for a presentation.
I will volunteer to answer questions and question teachers in class and practice writing essays, short summaries and stories and read books aloud to increase my knowledge of summarizing and to practice speaking fluently
I will do this by the end of school year.

Values: Organization of my Homework
I will be more organized with my homework and not finish it the day before it is due but rather the day I recieve it and if not, I will take more time out of my daily schedule and finish it the day after I recieve it.
I will know that the goal has been achieved when I will have more freetime and when I will look over my homework again and see if I need corrections.
