  1. Welcome to Life Science!

  2. Message to students • I want you to know that I have high expectations of all of you and, believe that you all have a great potential to succeed. • I am expecting you to give your very best. • The course of study in life science will be approached in a way that is interesting and meaningful for you • We will plunge into this wonderful body of science and will learn about you as an organism , about other organisms, how you and other organisms relate to each other and to the environment. • I want you to have a strong foundation in life science in this class on which you can build on in high school and college.

  3. Course Description • This class is built around a framework of process and application skills that you will need to solve problems and make good decisions about everyday issues involving science. • “Hands-on learning by doing” through AMSTI will allow you to progress from knowledge to application in science.

  4. Class Syllabus • We will be covering a variety of topics during the semester. • Topics covered in first semester include: Science Skills, Living Things Classification Cells DNA/RNA Heredity Plants s Ecology a • Topics covers in second semester includes Body Systems – Skeletal/ Muscular, Digestion, Circulation, Respiration/Excretion, Nervous, & Reproduction/Endocrine

  5. Materials Needed- • A seventh grade three ring binder for notes, bell-ringers, and worksheets • A composition book to record AMSTI inquiries. • 2 writing instruments • Folder • colored pencils • Please bring your binder and writing equipment to class daily.

  6. Discipline Plan • I want this to be a great year when you can empower yourself and others to be on the road to success. • To help you and your classmates to be in an environment where learning can occur all the time the seventh grade team expect you make the right choices all the time.

  7. Expectations • Be on time and be prepared. • Be respectful. • Remain seated. • Obey all school rules and procedures. • Give 100% daily.

  8. Consequences • Verbal warning. • 10 sentences • If not turned in, 20 sentences and phone call to parent. • If not turned in, detention and parent phone call. • If behavior continues, the parent will be asked to attend a conference.

  9. Procedures • Daily Directions • Enter quietly. • Go to your assigned seat. • Answer the bell-ringer question • Copy homework • Do not wait for the tardy bell to ring. Class begins when you enter the room. . • End of Class • No one is to leave when the bell rings. • I will dismiss the class ! • Check to make sure that you are not leaving anything behind that you are not supposed to leave. (My room is not your locker.) • Walk out of the room.

  10. Procedures During class Follow all instructions Experiments/Laboratory Experiences. • Anyone that does not follow the laboratory instructions or does something that is unsafe will be suspended from the experiment and receive a detention. If the lab is graded, you will receive a zero for the lab. Repeat offenders will be suspended from all labs and will receive an alternate assignment. Your safety and the safety of your classmates are of most importance. • I want you to know that horseplay is absolutely inappropriate and will not be tolerated

  11. Procedures • Participation Grade • Many lessons, experiments and computer work are completed in groups that require cooperation from all members. It will be my discretion in determining the input and participation of each group member. Any student who repeatedly fails to stay on task will lose group privileges, be given an alternative assignment, and/or have a reduction in his/her participation grade

  12. Procedures-Binders • Dividers in this order: •                 Literature •                 Grammar •                 Science •                 Social Studies •                 Math

  13. Procedures Make Up Work • You are responsible for asking me for make-up work if you have an excused absence. • As soon as you come in after an absence fill up the makeup slips and turn in . Makeup work will be given during the class. Sign up makeup log after having received your make-up work. Also, check my website for information about homework. • Tests and assignments should be made up with appointment. • Make up binder and work are posted at a designated place in my room.

  14. Procedures • Hall Pass • No pass will be given during class except for an emergency or for something that I deem necessary. Having to use the restroom real bad is not an emergency. Each student has time between classes during which they are expected to use the restroom.
