Science

Overview

In Middle School, science learning deepens as students investigate more complex systems and phenomena through the NGSS framework of crosscutting concepts, science and engineering practices, and disciplinary core ideas. Students conduct experiments, analyze data, and design solutions to real-world problems, strengthening their ability to reason scientifically and collaborate with peers. Through guided inquiry and reflection, students learn to think like scientists and engineers, preparing them for the rigor of high school science. By the end of Middle School, students should be able to demonstrate progress on the school’s SLOs in Science:

Creativity

Designing experiments
Collecting and analyzing data
Drawing evidence-based conclusions

Communication
