    Welcome to Middle School Science!

Middle School Science focuses on the study of Life Science in the 7th Grade and on the study of Physical and Earth Sciences in the 8th Grade.  Through discussions and laboratory activities, students will gain an understanding of the major concepts presented.  Emphasis will be placed on cooperative learning, using the scientific method to complete experiments, and learning the appropriate and safe use of lab equipment and materials.

Students are expected to come to class prepared.  This means that they need to bring their textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils and a good attitude.  Students are required to write homework assignments in their agenda books, which the school provides.   Homework must be completed by the assigned date and handed in when requested  to receive credit.  Long-term assignments and projects not handed in on time will be marked down one letter grade for each day they are late.

Lab activities are an integral part of the middle school science curriculum.  Students will receive instruction in lab safety, lab behavior, proper procedures, and how to handle lab equipment and materials safely.  Students will not be allowed to participate in lab activities until they have passed the lab safety and procedures test.  Also, students who come to class unprepared to do a lab, or who do not follow safety or behavior guidelines, will not be able to participate. Any student who is unable to complete a lab for any of the above reasons will be given an alternate assignment, which will cover the same concepts.

Please use the links for details on weekly homework assignments, projects, and other useful information.

I am looking foward to a productive year of learning and growth with our middle school students as we prepare them for the future.

Should you wish to contact me, please email or phone me at school.
