Science

Students will explore and discover scientific concepts, use science processing skills, and apply their inquiry and questioning abilities by performing a variety of scientific investigations. Earth and Space Science focuses on Earth’s place in the universe, Earth’s systems, the structure and change of the Earth over time, and the Earth and human activity, including climate change. Students will ask questions, develop and use models, analyze and interpret data, construct explanations, design solutions, engage in argument, and use these practices to demonstrate understanding of the core ideas.
