In 7th grade we study Weather, Astronomy, Geology, and Forces & Motion (beginning physics). This course is designed to align with middle school science standards set by the State of Washington Office of Public Instruction. We use Foss Kits and the Glencoe Earth Science Curriculum. All students in this class
must have a journal, preferably a
composition book, (now available in the Spanaway Junior High
Student Store!) They can also be found at Target and anywhere
else that sells school or office supplies. I strongly
recommend that parents buy two journals in the late summer/early
fall when the prices are lower and save one for later in the
year. Almost all work in class is done directly in journals
and the journal grade is approximately 30% of the total grade.
Students will also need a pen or pencil every day. A calculator is not required but is strongly recommended. Please see the course syllabus under the 'documents' tab for a more detailed course description. If you wish to contact me, please e-mail me at mfloyd@bethelsd.org. |
