imovie planet trailer

Ever thought of traveling to a different planet?  Today we are going to create movie trailers about what it would be like to travel to a different planet.  What will you experience?  What will you see?  What do you want to discover?  Here is my example based on Earth.

Mars One Mission and Pillownauts

For current events, we will be researching two astronomy topics in the news.  The first topic is the Mars One Mission where for a few dollars a seat can be purchased for the first human mission to the red planet.  The second topic is about a NASA research program studying microgravity affects where the test participants have to remain in bed.  You will be comparing and contrasting the benefits to these projects to the risks.

Welcome to middle school!  I am excited to be your science teacher.  7th grade is an exciting and challenging transition for students and I have high expectations for all of my science students. 

This year, we will have a class set of iPads for the classroom.  This means that we can create awesome presentations about what we are learning in science to share with the world.  One way we will share our creations is through this blog. 

My science classroom includes a lot of hands-on investigations and exploration labs.  Students will be using a variety of science equipment, including spring scales, pulleys, ring stands, wires, light bulbs, electricity switches, bells, graduated cylinders, beakers, and thermometers.  Each year, I add more hands-on investigations and incorporate new things into my class and many times the lab idea comes from the students. 

This year's addition to labs will no doubt include the use of iPads.  I cannot wait to see what interesting and creative projects we will be adding to the blog and the science classroom.   

I am looking forward to an exciting and educational year.  If you need to contact me, please e-mail me at adavis@pleasanthillschools.com or call the school office and ask for extension 4109.
