Introduction to Teacher
Hello! My name is Ms. Andrea Summey. I have a BS in Biological Sciences, Secondary Education from Clemson University, a Masters in Divergent Learning from Columbia College and a Masters in Science from Lesley Univerisity. I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I have been teaching for 28 years and I have taught at EC for over 7 years. Science is my passion and helping young people become successful adults is one of my strongest desires. I am a strong believer in working with parent(s)/guardians(s) as partners to help your child be as successful as possible. Graduation - HERE WE COME!!

This semester I will be teaching our new course at EC (Earth and Space Science) and Physical Science.
Physical Science
Physical Science
This course is designed as an introductory course to both high school Chemistry and Physics. Laboratory investigations are an integral part of this course. Using investigative, hands-on lab activities students will utilize inquiry-based learning, process skills, and higher order thinking skills as they address the concepts that will aid them in their future high school Science coursework. The standards being covered in this course come from the Chemistry and Physics 2021 SCCCR Standards.
The performance expectations in Physical Science help students engage in inquiry questions such as, but not limited to: How can one explain the structure, properties, and interactions of matter? How do substances combine or change (react) to make new substances? How does one characterize and explain these reactions and make predictions about them? How can one explain and predict interactions between objects and within systems of objects? What underlying forces explain the variety of interactions observed? What is energy? How is energy transferred and conserved?
Earth and Space Science
Earth and Space Science
South Carolina Earth and Space Science students engage in thinking and solving problems the way scientists and engineers do to help them better see how science is relevant to their lives. To capitalize on the natural curiosity all students have about the world around them, learning experiences are built around the three dimensions of science: Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs), Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs), and Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs). Earth and space sciences (ESS) investigate processes that operate on Earth and also address its place in the solar system and the galaxy. Thus ESS involve phenomena that range in scale from the unimaginably large to the invisibly small.
The performance expectations in Earth and Space Science help students engage in inquiry questions such as, but not limited to: What is the universe and what goes on in stars? What are the predictable patterns caused by Earth’s movement in the solar system? How do people reconstruct and date events in Earth’s planetary history? How do chemical cycles impact Earth’s systems? What affects climate change and what are the effects? How do Earth’s systems and humans influence each other?
We will use Google Classroom on a daily basis. Our class is as digital as we can be, meaning most of our work will be completed online. Please ask your student to show you their Google Classroom.

Materials:
Please purchase the following and bring it to your first class:
pack of colored printer paper, box of tissue, Sticky notes, 2 rolls of clear tape
Please purchase the following and bring them with you to class EVERYDAY:
pencils, pens, three-ring binder (1 to 2 inches), loose leaf paper, colored pencils, highlighters (at least two different colors), earbuds
Please purchase and keep at home:
colored pencils, markers, poster board, extra loose leaf paper, extra pencils, glue, scissors, tape.
it is crucial for you to bring a fully charged school device to school every day! You will not be allowed to use your phone or to charge your device during class. not having a device may result in zeros for missed assignments.
