Bring in supplies as soon as possible for class. Students will be responsible for bringing all supplies to class when required. Due to the nature of this school year, we will be limiting shared supplies. A pencil box or pencil pouch to be used for most classes may be helpful for supply storage.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>(1) Composition notebook- Please label with your name and class period<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>(20) #2 pencils<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>(1) Highlighter (any color)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>(1) pack of colored pencils or markers (8 or 12 pack should be sufficient for diagrams)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>(1) eraser<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>(1) pair of scissors<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose one:<\/strong>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Box of tissues<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pack of 3&#215;5 notecards<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-Its<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;steadysets&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;7d895c10-e163-3&#8243; title=&#8221;Bell Schedule&#8221; id=&#8221;168a536d-29b9-3&#8243; icon_steadysets=&#8221;steadysets-icon-stopwatch&#8221;][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>7th Grade Bell Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Passing Period: 8:00-8:09<\/p>\n<p>1st Period: 8:09-8:54<\/p>\n<p>2nd Period: 8:58-9:43<\/p>\n<p>3rd Period: 9:48-10:33 (Related Arts)<\/p>\n<p>4th Period: 10:37-11:22 (Related Arts)<\/p>\n<p>5th Period: 11:26-11:56 (Lunch)<\/p>\n<p>6th Period: 12:01-12:46<\/p>\n<p>7th Period: 12:51-1:36<\/p>\n<p>8th Period: 1:40-2:25<\/p>\n<p>9th Period: 2:30-3:15 (TBG\/Advisory)<\/p>\n<p>Dismissal: 3:15[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;steadysets&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;52732d87-3fd5-5&#8243; title=&#8221;Resources&#8221; id=&#8221;6c1896da-26d3-5&#8243; icon_steadysets=&#8221;steadysets-icon-paperclip&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Website\/Link<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Description<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>BrainPop\/ (Access through Canvas)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span>Short videos, quizzes, vocabulary, games, and more related to in-class science topics.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>National Science Foundation\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/\">https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span>Research and documents<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>Cells Alive\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cellsalive.com\">www.cellsalive.com<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span>View descriptions of different types of cells and how cells function.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>Science Buddies\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencebuddies.org\">www.sciencebuddies.org<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span>Learn about science fair projects, the scientific method, and scientific investigations.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>Monterey Bay Aquarium\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montereybayaquarium.org\/animals\/live-cams\/\">https:\/\/www.montereybayaquarium.org\/animals\/live-cams\/<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span>Live cams of animal exhibits, including otters and jellyfish!<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>Khan Academy\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\">www.khanacademy.org<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span>Tutorials and short videos for a variety of subjects<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;steadysets&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;134d3d03-b241-6&#8243; title=&#8221;Science Fair&#8221; id=&#8221;d28bfa71-e2a4-3&#8243; icon_steadysets=&#8221;steadysets-icon-atom&#8221;][vc_column_text]Otter Creek&#8217;s Science Fair is held each spring, in conjunction with FABS Night.<\/p>\n<p>Students in all science classes may submit projects for judging.<\/p>\n<p>Projects are judged by local engineering and construction management professionals.
