Write the procedure for a Fire drill, Tornado Drill while you are in the science room in your planner as well.

As you wait for class to begin, locate all student tools (Pencil sharpener etc.) in the science room and be able to tell me what respect looks like in this class and silently read the next two weeks of learning targets and the "Safety Contract".

Yesterday I asked you about what you want to do in life as a job, what do you need to get there? How many hours, pay?

(The movie sums up over 90% of what you will learn this year in less than two hours, so the movie is kind of important :) Whenever you see a blue and white date on the screen, write down the important fact that follows in your notebook. You will use it to answer the quiz Monday. You will also use the movie guide to answer the "small test in the third marking period". (The movie says the universe is 13.7 billion years old, it is not. It is 13.82 billion years old.) **
