Science
The Middle School Science Program allows students to rigorously investigate both the content and processes of science. Throughout the Science Program topics in earth/space science, biology, chemistry and physics are interconnected to show students the relationships that exist among the sciences and the natural world. Inquiry and laboratory investigations are an integral part of the program. Problem Solving is used to allow students to investigate authentic problems and reinforce science concepts. Setting high expectations and using differentiated instruction provide all students a challenging and engaging access to science.
