An integrated science approach is used with an emphasis in the life and earth science fields. Students are instructed through reading, discussions, group activities, laboratory activities, computer instruction, audiovisual materials, research, and other appropriate methods. Mathematical, listening, cooperative learning, computer, and reading comprehension skills that the students have are used and strengthened. Science skills such as identifying, measuring, observing, analyzing, organizing, and classifying are emphasized.
Modified materials are available for students with special needs.
Students are placed in the regular science classes and are given modified materials as indicated by their educational plan. Resource help is also available when needed. These students have excellent mathematical and verbal skills and are able to use higher level thinking skills. The science topics covered are the same as those presented in ML Science 6, but honors students are encouraged to explore beyond the text material using resources and methods designed to enhance their abilities.
