We are going to gain a deeper understanding of:
We are going to gain a deeper understanding of:
the building block of all matter (what the world is made of)
scientific ways to observe and describe the world around us
the physical and chemical properties of elements (in the periodic table) determine what they are used for
living and non-living interactions that sustain life
our positive and negative human impact on Earth
how we create electricity using renewable and nonrenewable methods and the impacts of using the various methods
different types of electricity (static and current) and when and where we would use them
celestial objects in the solar system and universe
space technologies and exploration
Questions we will explore together:
How do scientists investigate and design experiments?
How do we use specific scientific equipment to study and observe the world around us?
What are the building blocks of life?
What is everything made of?
How does Earth sustain and support life?
Where do we fit in the universe?
What is climate change?
How are humans impacting the Earth’s ability to be livable long term?
How does the sun and moon affect our daily lives?
How do we create and use electricity?
What are the household and daily life products made of?

How can I be successful in this course?
How can I be successful in this course?
Come to class prepared with binder, paper and school supplies
Keep your science notes organized in your binder (we will work on this together)
Participate!
Ask Questions!
Seek extra help when you do not understand (we want to help YOU)
Use given class time to complete your work (also probably means NO homework)
Hand in assignments on time
When you are absent, find out what material you missed and catch up on your own time
Cell phones are a fantastic tool but will be your greatest distraction if you let it (we will work on this together)
