Curriculum and Units of Study
We will begin our year with everyone's favorite....Lab Safety! We will then move into a study on energy. We will look at potential and kinetic energy, various types of energy, and how energy moves. Then we will explore renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. We will cap the unit off with the design of an energy-saving product.
As we move through the year, we will explore more topics such as waves, astronomy, weather, climate, chemistry, and genetics. More on this to come through the year! Please remember, especially this year, that this list is subject to change! We will definitely learn how to be flexible this year!
