Photo above show students practicing the scientific method while comparing the number of drops of water that a penny can hold.
We will be covering a variety of topics this year including: From Molecules to Organisms, Heredity, Matter and Interactions, Engineering and Design.
I do my best to keep this site current and up to date but it is subject to change.

NGSS Storyline: Homeostasis
Students will complete a multi-week unit using an interactive story-line to understand the following concepts: organization, homeostasis, carrying capacity, energy flow, matter cycling, photosynthesis and respiration,keystone species, and human impact of ecosystems. They will be creating labs, collecting data and analyzing data to solve a real world problem.
