On the first day of a new chapter, I give two to three pages of notes from the textbook. The students take notes as I explain them. The next day we continue notes and work on worksheets. Usually on the third or fourth day we begin a lab. The lab also comes from the textbook.
Students also continue working on worksheets from the chapter.
Students will complete the chapter's vocabulary by defining the vocabulary words at the end of the chapter. After the quiz on notes, we usually do another lab from the textbook. Then it is time to review for the upcoming test. I print a review sheet from the textbook computer program and have my students complete this for a daily grade. At the end of the period we go over the review sheet.
