Remote by Necessity Materials:
Students should have access to our Google Classroom and ZOOM during class sessions with the ability to type, hear audio, and display video.
In-Person Needed Supplies & the Science Binder:
Students should be prepared EVERYDAY! Materials needed unpacked daily include:
- 1 inch Science Only Binder
- Student Planner
- Bellwork/Vocabulary Packet (school-provided)
- Curriculum Packet (school-provided)
- Pens/Pencils/Highlighters/Colored Pencils
All students will use their science-only binder to store science packets and other out-of-packet assignments for each unit this year. At the end of a unit, work can be stored in class to make room for the next unit.
This is a guideline of the topics we will be covering this year:
