Class Overviews:

7th Grade:

The seventh grade science curriculum focuses on the different types of biology. The curriculum covers cell biology, ecology, human anatomy, and more! Students are challenged with weekly homework and quizzes and occasional labs. Building cell prototypes, and creating DNA models are just a few of the ways students experience hands on learning to prove the textbook lessons.


8th Grade:

The science curriculum for 8th grade students includes both physics and chemistry.  The first semester students learn about force, motion, and energy and how it has shaped the world. The physics labs include creativity and imagination as students design bridges, build rollercoasters, and analyze machines. The second semester focuses on chemistry. Chemical reactions, chemical bonds, and the periodic table is the focus of the closing semester. Chemical reactions and molecular models are just a few examples of the labs the students will perform.
