Welcome to MS ScienceStudents will review and practice scientific reasoning and logic along with the Physical Science content. Each grade (6-8) will have its own grading rubric to make sure students are achieving the appropriate level of understanding and ability, especially in the laboratory experiments. Students will be expected to keep a science journal throughout the year. The topics covered include motion and forces, energy and matter, properties of matter, interactions of matter, and waves.
Throughout the year guest scientists will perform lab experiments with the students. Students will be expected to do lab write ups according to grade level appropriate rubrics. In addition to the regular in class labs, students will be required to participate in the Lenawee Co. Science Fair. Details on the requirements for the science fair will be given out near the beginning of the school year. This Week's ScheduleMonday 5/23 - Chapter 10 Lesson 1
