What do I need for science online?
Required
1. Positive attitude! We are in for an interesting year so staying positive and doing our best every day will be a requirement!
2.
Computer or Chromebook with camera - We will conduct class via Teams and use OneNote to stay organized! These can be downloaded or you can use them in the web browser. Visit
portal.pvpusd.net to find the "Teams" button.
(How to Access and Navigate Teams!)
3. Basic supplies - Writing utensils, loose leaf paper or a notebook, ruler, calculator. We will do some things off screen then you will be able to upload an image to your digital OneNote notebook.
4. 3-ring binder - This will be needed once we return to school, but you may want to use it early if you decide to print things out.
5. Random "junk" - We will complete some engineering and design projects throughout the year and having access to random "junk" around the house is helpful. More to come on this as we get closer to the projects :) Cardboard, straws, bottle caps, and hot glue or tape are usually some essentials.
You may find these helpful...but they are not required :)
1. A second monitor or device - This will allow you to see everything that is in the screen for teams also also have your notebook or another window open at the same time. You can also split your screen to achieve the same thing, but the view will be smaller. We will practice "screen splitting" during week 1.
2. A quiet work space - I know you may not be able to have a dedicated work space, but try to find somewhere with as few distractions as possible! Also, headphones can help reduce distractions!
3. A draw tablet - We will draw many models in science and its sometimes helpful if you have a draw tablet. If you do not have a draw tablet or touch screen, do not worry! You are also welcome to draw models out on a separate sheet of paper and upload the image to your digital notebook. :)
4. Printer - This is personal preference. I will always have digital versions, but you have the option to print out assignments, complete them on paper, then upload images.
