This laboratory-based course is an innovative and modern entry-level science program designed to prepare you for progression from middle school into college preparatory and advanced high school study. It consists of two semesters: Earth & Physics (E&P) and Earth & Chemistry (E&C). Completion of this program will give you an understanding of key techniques and procedures in laboratory science, as well as foundational background material to help you progress into deeper study of the individual sciences.

We will be using Google Classroom as our learning management system. Google Classroom allows students, teachers, and parents to access a singular, easy-to-use system for student assignments, progress monitoring, and collaboration.  All assignments, resources, and official class communications will be posted on Google Classroom. Students will receive the class code to join our course on Google Classroom on the first day of school. 

I firmly believe that education is a team effort between students, teachers, and their families. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time! The best way for students and families to reach me is to send me an email at amichelin@opusd.org.
