Class Experience

This course will cover the Middle School NGSS Physical Science Standards in a hands-on and engaging way! Real-world problems, situations, and problem-based learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course. Students will have multiple opportunities to interact with other students and the instructor throughout this course in order to get the most out of their online experience. 

Students will meet for a live meeting once a week for instruction, demonstrations, group work, and experiments. The rest of the week will provide students the opportunity to complete projects, interact with other classmates through platforms such as Outschool discussions, and complete online simulations. Students will also have access to an online textbook and additional resources through CK12.org. 

Students will have multiple performance assessments throughout the course in order to assess their understanding in addition to problem-based learning projects and experiments.
