Welcome to 7th grade Life Science at D. T. Howard Middle School. My name is Ms. Turner. I am honored to have you in my science class and I am excited to work with you throughout the year. This is my fifth year as an educator and my fourth year teaching in this cluster. I also serve as the head cheer coach for 21 talented and hard working athlete girls. Go Rams!
I believe science is an extremely engaging and interesting subject. It increases our awareness and knowledge of the world around us and opens doors to new and exciting discoveries.
This year, you will be using a variety of instructional materials to help you achieve proficiency in science content. You will also have many opportunities to apply what you have learned in lessons through various lab investigations. My goal is to create a classroom learning environment to help you
Develop a strong science vocabulary
Build a solid foundation of science concepts and understanding
Make connections among science and other academic areas
Utilize technology to learn more about science
Develop critical thinking skills and the ability to challenge assumptions, think creatively and solve real-life problems.
Enjoy learning!
I look forward to exploring this endless journey of science mastery with you!
