OUR CURRICULUM: SCIENCES Grade 7 – Natural Science I Students
will observe the weather, the behavior of plants, insects, birds
and other living creatures. Throughout these observations,
students will learn and use the basic vocabulary of science,
make general conclusions and propose viable causes for the
behaviors observed. They will model their observations and
conclusions on those of the great observers of nature read and
discussed in class. Grade 8 –Natural Science II Students will
explore the more remote subjects first of the development of
earth’s land and water systems, then of the interior workings of
rocks, minerals, plants and animals. In this second stage of
discovery, students proceed from general observations of
behaviors in nature to more specific observations of the insides
of things by means of dissection, microscopic observation,
measurement, and simple experimentation. In addition to reading
and discussing works of the great paleontologists, geologists,
oceanographers, botanists, entomologist
