Welcome to Mrs. Fallen's Science Classes!!!
We are off to a great year and to keep the momentum moving, there are a few things to remember:

1. Science texts need to be covered.

2. Science contract and lab safety contract need to be signed by an adult.

3. 1 roll of paper towels, needed for lab.

I look forward to a stellar year. Any questions, please don't hesitate to email.

Thanks,
