The following materials would be very helpful.  If you have any problems or don't plan on getting materials, let me know so I can purchase them for you. 

• 2 - 3 pronged folder any color.  This is the most important item.  Paper  pronged folders work fine, but the plastic ones will withstand your water bottle condensation and should last the whole year.  You need just one any color.  The side pockets are handy but not mandatory.  They can be found for under $1.  This is the most important item.  Without lockers, your backpack is going to get full, but this 3 pronged folder is the ONLY thing you need to bring to Science daily. 

• Filler Paper: 40 sheets for the year should cover it

• Colored pencils.  Any kind. 

The below items are optional but helpful.  

• Optional:  Personal Earbuds for the computers.  Students sometimes like to listen to the content with their own earbuds.   I have found them at the dollar store. Wired ones (not bluetooth) are the easiest. 

•  Optional: Access to a computer mouse (wireless or wired).  Tech skills will be integrated into Science and your other classes. Some students love a mouse, other do fine with the integrated mousepad.

• Pencil sharpener (with catcher).  This will be convenient for your colored pencils.  

• Simple calculators are useful (around 4 times this year) but we won't need them very often.  You will want one for math and it can just be in your backpack.  Accelerated math recommends TI-30x found on Amazon or Target for $15, picture to the right.  

• Glue stick: I have some in class, but helpful to have your own.

• Scissors  I have some in class, but helpful to have your own.

•  I will be asking for Science donations to cover the expenses of dissection supplies.  

• 2 identical empty plastic water bottles for a September lab.  These can be 2 Gatorade bottles, water bottles, milk containers, any plastic bottles that can be flipped will work.  Yes we are flipping water bottles. :)  If it is okay, these water bottles will be donated as containers to grow plants in January.  If you need the bottles back... no problem. 

Let me know (in advanced) if you need anything!  

Was I suppose to pick up a Science book?

• Your amplify book is online.  You have an Amplify Science workbook that will be stored in class.  If you would like to take that home you are welcome to, just let me know.
