Before I handed out the syllabus, I ask everyone to write one topic they'd like to study this year on a post it note and stick it on the front board. Then we discussed them, most of what they put we are going to cover, or simple questions I could answer off the top of my head. One person asked how many heartbeats are in a minute, I taught them how to figure out their own heart rate. Lots of people wanted to dissect stuff; I don't think I'm ready for that.
I had everyone draw there name and something science-y for the wall. It's mostly volcanoes and planets, but some are super cute and creative.
These are my class rules. Maybe I should have written "Rules" at the top...
This is the vocab board and the current event board. Every other week or so we are going to read and discuss a science related current event. We already did one. I think everyone enjoyed it. So
