At Marshall Middle School, science is designed to survey life, earth, and physical science topics. Students have many hands-on experiences using laboratory equipment and should be adept at using microscopes, balances, rulers, and graduated cylinders. Students are encouraged to become observant of the world around them and are given opportunities to observe the natural world. Environmental issues are addressed and students are encouraged to become involved in finding solutions to those problems. Science Resources may be located here.
