Stations Carry only your pencil with you unless a station tells you to take a paper with you. Only 5 students allowed at each station (except 2/3 which is combined). Follow directions while you discover science class expectations! You will be responsible for following them each day. Quiz in the next few days on these class expectations. Be polite and respectful to others. Patience!

Station Day! Station 1: Back left corner. Thoughtfully answer the questions and place your post-its on the poster board. Station 2/3: Using the poster board, answer the questions about classroom expectations and where resources are located (quiz). Then, see if you can figure out the magnified pictures! Station 4: Force and Motion Quiz – let’s see what you already know before our first unit starts.
