One of the best ways to pay attention is to sit in the front row, or as close as you can get to where the teacher stands & lectures. When you're right there under the teacher's nose, it's not as easy to chat with friends, doodle, or zone out into a daydream! You have no choice but to pay attention!
Another idea: if there's a class that you really have a hard time with, let the teacher know. Write him/her a note on the first day and say something like, "Dear Mr/Mrs whatever, I just want to let you know that science (or whatever) is not my strongest subject. I've always had a hard time with it, but I really want to try hard to do well this year. I know you have a lot of students to take care of, but if there's anything you can do to help me do better in this subject, I would really appreciate it." That would really impress the teacher and she would probably go out of her way to make sure you're staying on task.

If you have friends in the class- don't sit near them. Let them know you need to pay attention.
Take notes. Taking notes will ensure that you pay attention- because if you miss something- you won't write it down- and then you'll learn that if you stop paying attention for a bit- you'll miss information. Does that make sense?
If its a morning class- ask your teacher if you can bring coffee into the class to help you stay awake- or pop- something with caffeine in it so you don't fall asleep or something. Also- make sure to eat breakfast everyday. Its unhealthy not to- and doing so will actually help you be more attentive.
