Hello and welcome to our class homepage!!
Getting Started
If it is your first few days in class you must view Ms Sigman's Survival Tips for Class and also the Lab Safety Rules. You will need to have your parents sign a copy of the Survival Tips for Class and also a copy of the Lab Safety Rules. If you need a copy of the lab safety rules in Spanish click here. You can download all of these from this web site or get them from Ms Sigman in class. Study the Lab Safety Rules and then take the Lab Safety test. When you have completed this you may begin lab class with the rest of the class. Before you are ready to begin class with the rest of the students you will need to obtain a lab notebook from Ms Sigman and learn how to set up your lab notebook.
Shaping The Land
Our first unit of study this year will be by the SEPUP company called Shaping the Land. We will study the process that shape the surface of the earth. I will post here the resources for each of the investigations as we do them.
Our first investigation will be Investigation 24. Feel free to watch the PowerPoint and prepare for the investigation before we do it in class. Write definitions for the vocabulary words in your glossary and copy the table for the investigation into your notebook.
We will continue our investigation of Boomtown building sites with Investigation 25.
Science Fair
This year the science fair will be the week of March 16th through the 20th. More information and resources will follow as we draw nearer the time of the fair.
A good resource for science fair projects and project ideas is the Science Buddies website. Check it for ideas on what kinds of projects you might like to perform.
Basic Science Skills
If you are unprepared for class in any way or you are kicked out of class for any reason you will need to complete an alternate assignment. These assignments will be available here as well as in the classroom.
