Welcome to middle school! I am excited to be your science teacher. 7th grade is an exciting and challenging transition for students and I have high expectations for all of my science students.
This year, we will have a class set of iPads for the classroom. This means that we can create awesome presentations about what we are learning in science to share with the world. One way we will share our creations is through this blog.
My science classroom includes a lot of hands-on investigations and exploration labs. Students will be using a variety of science equipment, including spring scales, pulleys, ring stands, wires, light bulbs, electricity switches, bells, graduated cylinders, beakers, and thermometers. Each year, I add more hands-on investigations and incorporate new things into my class and many times the lab idea comes from the students.
This year's addition to labs will no doubt include the use of iPads. I cannot wait to see what interesting and creative projects we will be adding to the blog and the science classroom.
I am looking forward to an exciting and educational year. If you need to contact me, please e-mail me at adavis@pleasanthillschools.com or call the school office and ask for extension 4109.
