Our 5th-8th grade curriculum is continuing to evolve to offer our students numerous opportunities to explore science in ways that encourage them to get involved in the learning process. During the past school year, we implemented a 2-year science program for all 7th & 8th grade students. Regardless of grade level, all 7th & 8th graders will be studying the same topics in science class this year. Last year's curriculum (called Science A) included the typical 8th grade curriculum along with a few new topics. For the 2018-2019 school year, the typical 7th grade curriculum will be incorporated into the Science B program and adapted for all students in grades 7 & 8. Students will begin the year exploring topics in biology during first quarter, physics & chemistry during second quarter, and earth science during 3rd & 4th quarters.
