Science

Students will take either Science or Honors Science each year while in middle school.

Honors Science classes are open to any student in 7th and 8h grade who is interested in a more rigorous science experience. There are no prerequisites for honors courses.

Science 6  SCI600
Students will develop knowledge and understanding of chemistry, physics, Earth, space, and life sciences to prepare students for the next grade level. Students become familiar with the process that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems. The combination of lecture and laboratory experience contributes to stirring their curiosity, expanding their horizons, and cultivating learning outside the classroom.  Students are exposed to  planning and implementing field and laboratory investigations, selecting proper lab procedures and equipment, analyzing information, making informed decisions, and presenting conclusions in written, mathematical, and graphical forms.  

Prerequisite: None

Science 7 SCI700
Students will continue to build on their knowledge and understanding of Earth and Space Science, Chemistry, Physics, and life science. Students become familiar with the process that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems. The combination of lecture and laboratory experience contributes to stirring their curiosity, expanding their horizons, and cultivating learning outside the classroom.  Students are exposed to  planning and implementing field and laboratory investigations, selecting proper lab procedures and equipment, analyzing information, making informed decisions, and presenting conclusions in written, mathematical, and graphical forms. 

Prerequisite: None  

Honors Science 7 SCI701
Students will continue to build on their knowledge and understanding of Earth and Space Science, Chemistry, Physics, and life science. Students become familiar with the process that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems. The combination of lecture and laboratory experience contributes to stirring their curiosity, expanding their horizons, and cultivating learning outside the classroom.  Students are exposed to  planning and implementing field and laboratory investigations, selecting proper lab procedures and equipment, analyzing information, making informed decisions, and presenting conclusions in written, mathematical, and graphical forms.  Honors Science 7 covers the same objectives as Science 7 in more depth and complexity.
Prerequisite: None

Science 8 SCI800
8th grade science is interdisciplinary in nature and emphasizes scientific investigations and reasoning in order to learn about natural phenomena. The content continues to build on their knowledge and understanding on Earth and Space Science, Chemistry, Physics, and life science to establish a foundation for high school courses.
