SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT!! GOOD BEHAVIOUR = MORE EXPERIMENTS
Basic Class Rules • No talking while someone is talking to the class (this includes the teacher or other students) • We only move around the class with a valid reason (not for the sake of it) or during an experiment • Eating or Drinking in class is a big no-no (*) • When someone is talking, we listen to them • During an experiment, we follow the teachers instructions if they tell us to sit down. • We have fun!
Booklets • We will now be making small booklets. Once the booklets are made, we need to complete the work below on the following pages: • Page 1: Grade 9 Chem–TrimeterOne (Heading) • Page 2 & 3: Tell me some things about yourself. Do you have any brothers/sisters, favourite movie, favourite sport, what you find annoying etc. • Page 4 & 5: Tell me what you enjoyed and did not enjoy about Grade 8 Science. • Page 6 & 7: What would you like to do/learn about in Grade9 Chem • Page 8: What are you going to try harder to do in Science this year?
Our Wiki • Go to the following wiki: • http://yis9chem.wikispaces.com • Then join wikispaces and then join the wiki using your YIS email address. • There is not much on the wiki at the moment, but it will include most handouts and PPT’s along with it being an area for general information • There is a discussion area.
