Fifth Grade - The fifth grade science curriculum has been designed to stimulate the curiosity of students about science and the natural world. It has been organized to provide the teacher with a broad outline of content matter, suggested activities, ways of assessing performance, and other resources. The suggested activities have been developed to engage students in inquiries that are important to them. Sixth Grade - Science in the sixth grade is designed to be an active course with students involved in actual investigations in a number of areas. Topics of study are frequently in the news and are locally important.
Every attempt is made to keep the curriculum relevant to students.
Seventh Grade - Science for seventh grade students will concentrate on the physical sciences. Students will apply skills of experimentation learned in sixth grade to the physical world. Physical science experiments frequently are easier to design and carry out and their results tend to have more distinct, easily recognizable patterns. Eighth Grade - Science for eighth grade students will concentrate on the Earth sciences. Students will apply skills of experimentation learned in sixth grade to the physical world.
