First Nine Weeks Physical Science Syllabus
First eight school days:
Science Process Skills (mainly Strand H of Sunshine States Benchmarks)
Group or cooperative learning science related activities geared to learning how to
work in groups.
Then we will begin our Physical Science Interactions curriculum
Unit 1: Building a Foundation
Strand H SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
Students learn how and why scientists do experiments
and how to evaluate experiments and experiment con-
clusions while investigating pendulums and magnets.
Strands B & C INTRODUCING INTERACTIONS
Students learn about evidence of interaction and inves-
tigate the magnetic, electric charge, and electric circuit
interactions.
Strand A INTERACTIONS AND PROPERTIES
Students learn what a property and characteristic pro-
perty of an object are. Students are introduced to the
meaning of mass, volume and density.
Homework #1 (25 points): Parent and Student signatures on the Acknowledgement Letter
that was handed out in class today. This homework is due by
August 27th. The letter states that both the parent and the
student have read and understood this Science Class Information Handout and the Science Class Rules handout

Welcome to the seventh grade and to what will be your best and most memorable middle school year!
My name is Mr. Daniel Avilés and this is my tenth year teaching Physical Science at AMMS. The purpose of this informational science class handout is to share vital class information with students and their parents. Working together from day one, I know that we can make this school year a successful one.
Parents: If you have any questions or concerns, now or during the school year, please do not hesitate to call, email, write, or schedule a parent conference. A quick and easy way to communicate with any of your child’s teachers is by means of his/her planner. You can write in the Parent-Teacher comment
section, and instruct your child to show it to me. I will read it and proceed to write or call back.
