1. Welcome to Physical Science Class!
See Ms. Pici
for your assigned seat and your class requirement sheet

2. Think
Not all classes apply directly your life and your interests However that does not make the class not valuable
Education is an end in and of itself, and
a privilege. The pursuit of knowledge is
valuable and important

3. Cooperative learning environment
An easy grade is worthless. It says nothing about your abilities and accomplishments.
We will working in a cooperative learning environment and everyone is expected to contribute to class discussions.
We will have lots of fun but know the difference between education and entertainment expect education! Fun is just a bonus

4. Effort
Only you can learn. Teachers cannot make you learn and cannot teach unless you are an active participant in the process. You must make an effort to engage the material and make it your own. View your education as your job. Show up on time, follow the rules, stay late if necessary but put in lots of effort, and the payoff will come.
