First Day of School PowerPoint with Interactive Science Notebook Instructions
This fun and interactive PowerPoint is what I use on the first day of school to introduce myself to the class. It is full of fun memes that describe the classroom rules and policies to lighten the atmosphere on the first day.
Also included in this PowerPoint is the instructions for the Interactive Science Notebook that we use on a daily basis in Chemistry. Students learn very early how important this notebook is and how to correctly document their investigations.

First Day of School Chemistry Lab
The first day of school is vital! Teach your students procedures while doing a fun lab on the first day.

(I always start the year with an alphabetical seating chart). After handing out the syllabus, discussed later in the week, we immediately start lab! Students dive into measurement as they evaluate the relationship between volume a

Experience

Teaching style
My teaching style includes a great deal of interaction with the students. I am a kinesthetic learner, so I enjoy creating, planning and implementing laboratory activities and investigations. I love for students to dive in and investigate a question they have. I try to incorporate technology when I can and I love to see my students actually EXPERIENCE science. My students utilize color and creativity to express what they are learning in their Interactive Science Notebooks. I change things every year and know that I have so much left to learn!
