INTEGRATED SCIENCE 6 HONORS

Length:  Year           Available for:  6th Grade

Honors science courses are for students who have the interest and motivation to pursue science knowledge and skills with greater depth and rigor than in regular science courses. Students will engage in learning activities that emphasize inquiry, problem solving, critical thinking, as well as technology and research skills. Students will be provided opportunities to demonstrate understanding through a variety of instructional methods, which may include writing, research projects, reading of complex science material, discussions and lab work to develop science process skills. Investigations and meaningful real-world applications will increase focus on depth and complexity of science concepts. 

INTEGRATED SCIENCE 7 (600000)

Length:  Year           Available for:  7th Grade
