Life Science: Explores cellular biology, ecosystems, genetics, and the diversity of life. Students analyze interactions within ecosystems and the impact of human activity.
Earth Science: Covers Earth's systems, weather, climate, and the solar system. Students study geological processes and their effects on the planet.
Physical Science: Focuses on forces, energy, matter, chemical reactions, and the laws of motion. Encourages experimentation and model-based learning.
*In grades 6-8, science is taught using an "integrated science" approach. This method involves teaching all NGSS standards in a cohesive manner, connecting concepts across life science, physical science, earth and space science, and engineering practices. This interdisciplinary strategy emphasizes the interconnectedness of scientific disciplines, encouraging a comprehensive understanding of science.
