This course is designed to ignite your curiosity and deepen your understanding of the world around you. Throughout the year, we will explore a variety of scientific topics, including the principles of the scientific method, the properties of matter, the forces that shape our planet, the basics of life science, and so much more! 

You will engage in hands-on experiments, interactive lessons, and collaborative projects that encourage you to think like a scientist. Together, we will investigate everything from the smallest atoms to the vastness of space, and discover how science impacts our daily lives. Get ready to ask questions, make discoveries, and develop the skills you need to understand and appreciate the world around us.

The curriculum for this course aligns with the West Virginia College and Career Readiness Standards for Science, developed by the West Virginia Department of Education.  We will primarily be using McGraw Hill’s Inspire Science as our reference material, however we will utilize multiple mediums to ensure all students have a solid understanding of each course topic. 

Current Unit Overview: Right now in science class, students are exploring the fascinating forces and structures that make up our universe. We are learning about gravity, the force that keeps planets in orbit and objects grounded here on Earth, and how it shapes the motion of objects in space. Students are also studying the vastness of the universe, including galaxies, stars, and the incredible scale of space.

Our focus has also included the Solar System, where students are learning about the Sun, planets, moons, and other celestial bodies such as asteroids and comets. Through hands-on activities, discussions, and models, students are building an understanding of how these objects move and interact. This unit encourages curiosity and helps students see how our place in space connects to the world around us.
