Welcome, to Ms. Harris's Science Web page under construction.
Doa (Do On Arrival) Questions are questions I ask at the beginning of the period. These questions cover the state standards, review, introduce, and prepare the students for tests. These questions are worth 20 points a piece, for a total of 100. Each student is required to turn all five questions and answers in on Friday. I go over and write the answers on the board. The answers are covered in a class discussion. I do grade the DOA questions for accuracy. If a student is absent, they have to write the date and write why the were out for full credit.
