     Welcome to Ms. Chili's Science class!  Be prepared for a fun-filled year of hands-on learning experiences and a chance to explore the vast world of Science.  Together, we will work hard to achieve our personal and class goals as well as make a commitment to find how Science is relevant and important in our lives. 

     During this academic year, students will encounter a vast array of experiences to enhance their education growth and well-being. Students shall learn to become analytical thinkers, as well as critical thinkers and apply previous knowledge to solve problems. They will also begin to enhance their skills of prediction to look in depth to future problems and ways to change unfavorable trends in the environment and their surrounding. 

     I am so excited about the 2009-2010 school and cannot wait to enjoy the amazing world of Science together!
