Science Class Overview

In science class, we will be working through five units using the iScience Curriculum.

Unit 1: Understanding the Universe

Unit 2: Earth and Geologic Changes

Unit 3: Exploring Ecology

Unit 4: Motion and Energy

Unit 5: Interactions of Matter

Throughout the year, I will work to incorporate labs, class discussions, and classwork practice to provide students with a variety of ways to engage with the material.

I would like students to be involved in school and have time to participate in activities outside of the classroom. Because of this, I work to ensure that any homework assigned is purposeful. Homework will generally consist of studying for a test or quiz or completing classwork that has not been finished in class.
