Hello Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome to 7th Grade Science, my name is Mrs. Shirley! This year you will be building on what you learned in 6th grade science. We will spend time in each of the domains of science: Physical, Life, and Earth Sciences. Labs, STEM Challenges, and escape rooms are just some of the activities we will be doing in our class!
I have a Master’s Degree in STEM Education with undergraduate degrees in Marine Biology and Geology. My goal is to inspire my students while instilling a solid foundation of scientific knowledge. I will guide them on their path to success by incorporating life skills into each lesson. These skills will help students connect with the content. In addition, it will apply to future science classes, other content areas, and even life outside of school! Science is exciting and I hope to encourage my students to have enthusiasm, curiosity, and wonder about the world we live in. I am extremely passionate about creating an engaging learning environment where students to feel welcome and valued every day.
I am very flexible with communication so please don’t hesitate to contact me! Now more than ever, communication will be essential. Please see the "Navigating Science Class" tab for specific class policies and the "Newsletters" tab to see what we've learned, what we're learning, and what we will learn.
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and having a great school year!
"Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity,
and is the torch which illuminates the world" -Louis Pasteur
