Rules

I am so glad you found my webpage. I hope that you find it helpful. Throughout the school year we will be exploring the world of science with many hands-on activities, labs, and other scientific explorations. Check back regularly for updates, activities and news from 4th Grade Science. There is no limit to what you might find when you take the time to look closer. ****//Parents please set your student up for success by helping them with homework, helping them learn how to be prepared for school each day, and helping them build the character and integrity they need to be successful for a lifetime//** .****** ||
 * The Method of Mrs. McCord **
 * **I**. ||  **Purpose & Research Question**  ||  What do I need to know to be successful in Mrs. McCord's class?  ||
 * **II**. ||  **Hypothesis**  ||  If I come to class prepared and ready to learn everyday, I will be able to get the most out Mrs. McCord's class.  ||
 * **III**. ||  **Materials**   ||  a. **Pencil** - It is your responsibility to come to my class with a pencil ** EVERY DAY .** I recommend having 2 pencils, just in case.  ||
 * ||  ||  b. **Planner** - You will be given a planner at the beginning of the year, you will need it ** EVERY DAY ** for class. It is your responsibility to write the topic each day and to keep up with what assignments are due and when in my class. I will also write notes to your parents in your planner, if needed.  ||
 * ||  ||  c. **Science Folder** - This is where we will keep our notes, assignments and homework for Science. Each of you has a folder with your name and Science written on the front. Please do not recycle ** ANYTHING ** unless I tell you to. This is also where I ask you to keep your STEPS each week from Monday, when I hand them out, until Friday, when we check them.  ||
 * ||  ||  d. **Science Journal** - Our journal will be used to keep all of our notes and experiments handy in case you need to review for a test. This spiral will stay in my classroom everyday. Each of you has spiral with your name on it to use in my class.  ||
 * ||  ||  e. **Thinking Cap** - You will need to come to class prepared to listen to directions, think about your answers, work together with classmates, and solve problems.  ||
 * **IV**. ||  **Procedure**  ||  If you come to my class with a positive attitude and ready to work then we will have a great year. It is my hope that each student comes to 4th grade ready for a challenge and ready to have fun learning about the world around us. The most important part of any student's ability to do well in class, is support at home.
 * **V**. ||  **Conclusions**  ||  The scientific method is an example of one unique approach that we will use to test various things throughout the year. There are many ways to solve a problem or find the answer to a question. I am looking forward to a great year!  ||
