Students and Parents: Here is a list of the science classroom procedures:
1. Arrive to class on time
2. Once in the classroom, please sit down and wait for instructions.
3. Classroom supplies: pencil and or blue or black pen, lined loose leaf paper, graph paper, color pencils, textbook
4. Raise hands when desiring to respond or have a question
5. Always have the previous days work completed and ready to grade
Middle School Science Presentations
During the course of each semester, the middle school students will be presenting small science demonstrations before their peers. Many books on science experiments are available at the library and at book stores. You can also get science experiments off the internet (www.kidzone.ws/science/index.htm; www.hunkinsexperiments.com; ) There are MANY other sites that you can explore. Students should practice their experiment at home before presenting to the class. Girls and boys need to explain what is happening during the experiment.
When selecting a demonstration, I like to use the KISS method - Keep It Simple Silly. The best experiments are the ones that can easily be explained yet make a good scientific point. During the course of each semester, the middle school students will have the opportunity to make their presentation. There will be a note coming home next week with your childs assigned presentation date.
