Each time I teach the Science class, the students are a bit wild. What are some methods I can use to real them back to the task on hand without yelling to get their attention. The general education teacher, yells to get their attention, and I do not feel that as a useful strategy. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If you feel that yelling doesn't help get their attention, try different strategies. Talk to other teachers of other subjects and see what works for them. Sometimes clapping or a simple 'if you can hear my voice, clap once' helps get their attention back.
