Classroom Information

Practicing PAWS in Science:

• Practice Respect
  • Give respect and kindness to everyone in the room at all times
  • Use lab equipment the way you are instructed to
  • Not every experiment will give the same results, or might take a few extra tries – that is OK!! 

• Accept Responsibility
  • If you make a mess, clean it up
  • If you make a mistake, fix it
  • If you cause damage to another person’s property or self, apologize and find a way to fix the situation

• Work Together
  • Most labs will be done in partners or small groups; everyone must participate and be involved in the lab process
  • Ask for help when you need it; do not wait until the last minute when it is too late
  • No one knows everything; together we know a lot. Use each other to build explorations and prove your hypothesis

• Stay Safe
  • Follow rules for each lab exactly as they are presented to you!
  • Long hair MUST be pulled back during the hands-on explorations! 
  • NO FOOD OR DRINKS at the tables during hands-on explorations! No exceptions! Drinks will be left on the side counters ONLY.
  • If cell phones are being used for a portion of an assignment, they can ONLY be used for that purpose, and only when instructed to do so
