I am afraid they will send me home and I start a new job in a week.

you should technically give notice, but if you really think they will send you home, then not really sure what to tell you. Its not good etiquette to just leave and not come back from a job, but at the same time if you feel threatened, then you have to do what you have to do.
Is there a chance you may not like your other job, and would need to come back to the one you have now? If that is the case, then I would say to leave on good terms.

Always give notice. If you put a phrase in there like "I will be happy to help ease the transition for my replacement" or "I would be glad to help train my replacement" it helps a lot with the "sending home" issue. Giving notice helps get a good reference later, and often it helps if for some reason you need to reapply to the same company, even years down the line. (This happened to me with one job, and because I gave notice when I reapplied I got to keep my previous time worked on my record, so benefits kicked in immediately.) If you don't burn bridges...you can cross a bridge quickly even if you hate it or it's a little rickety.
Check out AboutJobs (http://www.gotthejob.com/Article-Resignation.html) for an "official" view on giving notice.
They used to teach business correspondence as a unit in junior-level English classes at my high school, which I thought was a great idea. Everybody needs information on how to write cover letters, resumes, resignations, etcetera!

Give notice, if you want to use the current job as a reference at any time in the future. 2 weeks notice is standard.

Before you quit get another job first and when you are sure that you have that other job then you can politely give your two weeks notice, you dont have to, but doing that way will help you to get good reference,

You should give notice. The average is 2 weeks inadvance, but some CEO jobs give several months and temp jobs just give a day.

I think you should always give notice that you are leaving a job, you never know when you migt need a referance for another job.

You should give notice. The general rule is that you should give at least two weeks notice.

Yes, give notice. It will make you look good and
give your employer time to hire a replacement. It is
never a good idea to burn your bridges behind you.

Well you do need to give a notice you can't just leave.

i hate to answer a question with a question , but would your job give notice if they were going to fire you ? in essence, to rationalize this in your own conscience, basically, you are firing them as your monetary provider, so go ahead and go home and get rested up for your new job . oh and dont forget to tell them where they can shove it.
