The tests should be fairly easy if you study for them. It's a lot of multiple-choice and a bit of writing. There's a lot of information to keep track of because it's science obviously, but it's manageable. There are so many opportunities to get credit by doing simple things or just participating. You'll learn a lot and have a lot of fun!

I learned so much from this class. The material is challenging but really fun and there was a good mix of social and independent work. My biggest piece of advice is to keep everything really organized. So many kids lost their work last year. While he was understanding, It's going to be so much easier for you if you keep everything neat and know how to find it. If you put the work into this class (which really isn't too much) you'll be fine.

Mr. Bakula was my favorite teacher in seventh grade! He's the best and he's a super fair teacher!

Mr. Bakula is one of my favorite teachers. He makes the work so engaging and the experiments we do are so fun. He's really dedicated to his job so just don't be that kid who makes it more difficult for him. Seriously it's annoying and no one likes you.
