Welcome to Physical Science! Here is an overview of the information we will cover this year:
I believe that students learn best when they are actively involved so we will have lots of class discussions, do lots of labs and activities, and complete in class projects. Physical Science can be really fun and interesting but we will only be successful if we have some expectations and guidelines in place so that class will run smoothly.
Materials: We will have lots of hand-outs, write down important information, and complete plenty of assignments throughout the semester. The best way to keep track of all of this information is to keep it in a 3 ring binder (with notebook paper). This binder should be brought to class each day. You will also need to bring pens/pencils to class each day.
Procedures: Each day when you enter class you will have an assignment to complete. This will help you to remember what we talked about the day before and also give me time to take attendance and get materials ready for the day. As soon as you come into class please sit in your seat and get started on the assignment immediately. Also, at the conclusion of class you will have an exit ticket. You will need to complete this and turn it in on the way out the door at the end of class. These assignments will count towards your participation grade.
Rules and Expectations: During the semester I will have many incentives for students who come to class each day (and/or on time) and for those who work hard to complete assignments and keep their grades up. You will also work together in groups to tutor/help each other (not to copy from one another J) because this will help you to be a better student overall.
Here are my expectations of you:
1. Arrive at class on time each day with your materials (binder, pen/pencil, HW)
2. Show respect for your peers (and me) at all times. In return, I will be respectful of you and make sure that your peers do the same.
3. NO food or drink in the classroom!!! Some of our prizes will be food prizes but they must be consumed in the cafeteria.
4. Follow all instructions and safety procedures during labs and activities.
5. Respect the opinions and property of others.
6. Clean up (and put lab materials back). Do not leave trash or personal items on the floor or table.
7. Make up ALL missed assignments.
8. Please push all chairs in before exiting the classroom.
10. Absolutely NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES!!!!
