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: Our 6th graders are beginning their unit on Biodiversity and Biomes! In this unit, students will explore the incredible variety of life on Earth and the unique ecosystems that support it. Through vocabulary study, guided notes, and short-answer activities, they’ll learn how climate, geography, and living organisms interact within each biome. Students will also watch videos showcasing the world’s diverse biomes—from deserts to rainforests to tundras. The unit will conclude with a research project, where each student will select a biome to study and present their findings to the class.
