Welcome to Mr. Valdez' Science Class! In my class you will discover the amazing world of science through hands-on learning and real-world applications. As a student of Hillview Middle School I expect you to uphold the values of our school and bring your very best every day you come to class.
In my classroom, I encourage students to:
1. Think beyond the classroom - Science is everywhere in our wold and so much of what we experience can be analyzed from a scientific standpoint.
2. Have an inquisitive mind - Great scientists spend a lot of time thinking and asking questions to find an answer.
3. Take risks and be willing to fail - So much can be learned by trying and failing. Failure is not defeat!
4. Be resilient - Scientists don't always get it right the first time and they must be willing to keep working towards a solution.
5. Work hard at communication - Sharing knowledge and ideas are fundamental aspects of science.
6. Have fun!
