In the event of a fire drill, we… –We travel out the door single file and go down the hall toward the nearest exit. –We are absolutely silent. –Remain silent as attendance is taken. Try and shut the windows, doors, and turn off the lights when we leave. Why?

Answer: Because fire requires oxygen to burn during combustion.

–Shutting the windows prevents oxygen from flowing through the building.

Shutting the windows and fire doors limits oxygen flow to the fire.

Staying Organized

–I expect you to save all your handouts, lab write-ups, and assignments throughout the year.

Staying Organized –I expect you to save all your handouts, lab write-ups, and assignments throughout the year. –The easiest and neatest way to do this is in a binder.

We do not use a textbook

We make our own textbooks.

Student volunteer needed to read the next slide. –Each line that needs to be read will turn blue. The paragraph will unfold one line at a time.

A science journal is a written record that you will be keeping of what you are learning in class. I find that thinking about what is being learned and putting it into your own words can really increase what you remember. You will be writing in your journals at the beginning of every class. Journals are 25% of your total science grade and must be taken care of.

A short applause for our speaker.

Activity – Looking at some science journals from some hard working students.

At the beginning of class… –Come into class and take your seat. –Pull out your science journal and open it to the first available page. –Sharpen your pencil before class begins.

A strong start to class = A good class for everyone.

A poor start of class = A weaker class.

Even though there is no textbook, you still have homework.

You are expected to work on science for 20 minutes of nightly homework.

80% of your homework will occur in the form of a bundled unit assessment.

These assessments are your opportunity to demonstrate excellence.

–It’s your opportunity to show me what you can do with almost unlimited time and resources.

The rules are very different from a test you might take in another class.

You usually have more than three weeks to complete.

No multiple choice, No True-False

You can use the following to complete the unit assessment Science Journal

Activity! Using the internet to answer any Question.

–Somebody give me a question that will have an answer about anything in the field of science.

Family and relatives.

Your strange Uncle Phil who was a scientist.

Friends

The one thing you cannot do is directly copy somebody’s answers.

Is this picture an example of students cheating?

–No, the students are working together and helping each other.

Is this picture an example of a student cheating?

–Yes, This student will definitely be in trouble. Cheating isn’t worth it. It only cheats your hopes and dreams. See me, I’m paid to help you.

You can teach by… –Showing someone where in their science journal the correct response is located. –Point out, and walk students through examples in your journal. –Allow students to view your science journal. –Go online and show more examples. –Verbalize / summarize your answer.

The homework shouldn’t be late! Why?

–You are given a month to complete it.

The homework shouldn’t be late! Why? –You are given a month to complete it. –If you were absent a few days two weeks ago those don’t count because you have so much time.

If you are absent...BE PROACTIVE! –See me when you get back, I won’t find you. –Get the notes from the computer or a friend. –If it was a lab, let me show you what happened.

Please guess the mystery street below as I slowly remove the boxes. –Raise your hand when you think you know.

It’s Opportunity. –I am expecting every page to be answered in extreme detail. –Just getting it done quickly isn’t going to get you much more than D+.

It’s Opportunity. –I am expecting every page to be answered in extreme detail. –This year is your opportunity to achieve excellence.

Do I count spelling? –Answer yes. I count the 100 everyday words and then all words in the environmental print. –Spell photosynthesis below. –__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

Do I count spelling? –Answer yes. I count the 100 everyday words and then all words in the environmental print. –Spell photosynthesis below.

Do we know the eagle code? –1) Always be Respectful –2) Everyone is Responsible –3) Make Good Choices –4) Safety, First, Last and Always.

A few ground rules that need to be followed along with the class code. –Don’t shout out, please raise your hand. –One speaker at a time. –No cross-room conservations ever. –Movement with a purpose (academic). –Clean up after yourself and others.

Discipline and Class Rules All school wide expectations carry over into my classroom. I will be focusing on the philosophy “If you break it, fix it,” as a logical consequence to students who have difficulties with school policies.

Times we will work on your behavior This will also occur after parent contact. –Break time –Lunch time / Recess –Afterschool

You may require a letter of written reference from me at some point this year. –I would enjoying writing this letter for you. –That reference starts today. –I will always tell the truth about you good or bad.

Why You Will Succeed –What is taught in this class is important? –I believe in you. –You can Do it. –Never Give Up!

Activity Sheet! First Quiz of the year. –Put this as homework due tomorrow in your agenda book. –Please take your time. –I expect each line to be filled in with a complete thought. –I expect it neat and orderly. –Please keep guidebook in your 3-ring binder for the year.

Again, – Welcome to science, and I look forward to getting to know each of you.

Activity! Coat of Arms

A Coat of Arms has long been a symbol of a family's identity and values. Originally used to identify warriors dressed in armor, each knight chose symbols and colors to represent his family or clan.
