In this class, we will study the common core standards of middle school science. We will study topics such as the units of measurement & conversions that scientists use daily, types of energy such as sound, light, etc, and geology. Throughout this first semester of middle school science, students will get an introduction into topics such as force and motion that will be further developed upon in high school years.  They will also expand their knowledge on topics in the fields of astronomy and earth science, to which they have received an introduction in the previous grades. 
Most assignments in this course can either be printed or viewed digitally, as chosen by the family.

Projects will not be due until the last week of class and can be extended if needed. 
Students will work with Nearpod, an interactive software program that allows students to participate in discussion boards, answer short quizzes, and watch interactive videos that pertain to course material. 
Students will also work with CK-12 an interactive learning platform, that allows students to answer practice tests, read articles, and work in interactive textbooks. Some of the assignments will be assigned on this platform. Each student will be provided with their own login information to access their assignments and readings, which the teacher will set up. 
Homework assignments will be assigned weekly. They will include, articles, CK-12 practice tests and articles, worksheets, and nearpod lessons. The teacher will provide feedback on submitted assignments and will be available to answer any questions the students may have. Each week, a discussion question will be posted to the classroom board for the students to review concepts discussed on the topic that is being covered that week. This class is one of the parts of middle school science. Each part covers different topics and can be taken in any order.
