  1. Welcome to Physical Science 2012-2013 Mrs. Shafter

  2. Entry Task Please take a moment to help me get to know you by filling out one side of the index card with the following information while I take roll. If you don’t finish by the time I move on it’s ok to write as I talk. The questions are on the white board. • Your first and last name. • How many people are in your family? • Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? • What is your favorite food? • What is your favorite color? • What is your favorite animal? • What is your favorite thing to read? • What is your favorite type of music? • What is your favorite type of activity?

  4. Cornfield What do you picture? I’m going to group you into teams of 6. Your group wants to come up with the most unique way to sit in a chair. (It must be safe) 3. You’ll send a representative up to demonstrate your design to the class. What is the problem/question in this experiment? Was any group’s way better or more correct than another? What observations did you make? Everyone can come to conclusions and solve problems in their own way. How do you eat a Reece’s? An Oreo? How do you solve a problem?

  5. Have a great day today! Help someone else have a great day too. A random act of kindness will mean the world to someone.

  6. Back of Index Card Tell me about the best teacher you ever had. What made that person such a good teacher? How do you learn best? Give me an example of a project or unit where you learned a lot. Describe the project in detail. Lab Book Bring your composition book to class tomorrow.

  7. Syllabus Hunt • Use the signs around the room to work with your partner to • answer the questions about my syllabus and expectations for • this class. • Try to keep your answers to yourself because there is a prize!!!!! • Some of the signs are hidden under tables, or inside cabinet • doors so look carefully. • None of the signs are behind my desk or in the lab.

  8. Classroom ExpectationsEveryone has the chance to move forward and learn in a safe and relaxed environment. Prompt Prepared Ready to Learn • Safety First- Students will abide by all lab safety rules, and behave in a positive and appropriate manner to ensure the safety of all in the classroom, school and community. • Learning Matters- Students will support the learning environment of the classroom by being positive role models and acting as assistants to the teacher and each other. • Respect- Students will demonstrate respect at all times for our environment, safety, learning and each other.

  9. What that means to me.  • Be aware of what you say. • You should be courteous and respectful to everyone at all times. • Hateful comments about race, gender, sexuality, political views, appearance, or of any other type will not be tolerated; this applies to serious as well as “joking” comments. • Keep your hands to yourself. • Stay in your seat. • Chose your opportunities to sharpen pencils and interrupt carefully. • Have everything you need ready before class begins.

  10. What this means to me “2” . • Leave the food at home. • No eating or drinking in the lab. This includes candy. Closable • containers of water are permitted in my classroom. • Nothing goes airborne. • Nothing will go airborne in class at any time. This includes pens, • paper, and other students. Experiments permitted by ME  are the exception. • Please don’t use the terms “shut up” or “retarded”. • These phrases have no place in school. Please do not use them.

  11. Emergency Preparedness Calm!! Orderly Responsible Understanding

  12. Lab Safety Study Guide • Here is a copy of a lab safety quiz. • Work with a partner to brainstorm the answers and then we’ll go over them as a class. • Use this study guide to help you prepare for the safety questions that will appear on your tests for me and the district EOC. • You may use this handout on September 7th when you do a project that reflects what you know about safety. • After we review the answers we’ll watch the district safety video and discuss key parts that relate to our labs. • Remember that you cannot participate in labs if you and a parent/guardian do not read the district safety contract and sign/return the last page.
