Welcome to 7th grade science! • As you come in • Find your seat. • Fill out the seating chart card writing your first & last name LEGIBLY! • Fill out your science survey card. • When finished, stay in your seat and look around the room; using your keen powers of observation to answer the following questions: • How many frogs are in the room? • What is Ms. Baker’s nickname? • What competition is Ms. Baker the sponsor of?
How do we start class? • Every day you’ll get your folder, pick up papers by the door and then take your seat. • Have out your agenda, pencil, and composition book ready to begin class. • Backpacks are on the floor and cell phones are off and safely tucked away inside. • Read the slide on the front board. • Open agenda, write the daily objective on today’s date. • Fill out the Science Starter sheet for today. • When finished, see if you can answer today’s trivia question on the white board.
How do we pass in papers? • Hand the papers to the person in seat A. • The person in seat A will stack the papers and put them in a neat pile on the edge of the desk closest to the aisle. • Ms. Baker will come to each table, and collect the papers.
Let’s practice… • Please hand in your seating charts. • Before handing them in make sure your first and last name is written so the teacher can read it.
What is science? • Science discovers the why and how of the way nature works. • It also seeks the answers to questions and problems. • People then use technology, engineering, and math to solve problems and answer questions using the information science has discovered.
