Science in Grades 6 - 8 is part of a three-year curriculum that begins in Grade 6. Throughout these units, students grow in their ability to problem solve, ask good questions, and argue based on evidence.
The curriculum is grounded on evidence, collaborative between the teacher and students, and builds a classroom culture that values ideas and learning of all students. Each different grade level uses a storyline approach to introduce the unit, based on questions that arise from a puzzling phenomenon.
