Science offers an important perspective into how the world around us operates. In grade seven we focus on biological science. Through research, discussions, laboratory activities, and dissections, students will investigate biological topics. Students will expand their knowledge of the principles and methods of the scientific process. In addition, students will develop a greater understanding of the important role science plays in all aspects of our lives. This year we will continue the STEM program with the help of Mr. Mueller.
The science course this year includes:
Homework is given to augment work done in class. In addition to regular homework there will be longer assignments with specific due dates.
