Students Learn By Doing

The 7th and 8th grade Science program is a hands on, inquiry based program that brings Science alive in our fantastic science lab.  Students work on projects that showcase their understanding of the Scientific Method as they test various hypotheses.

Award Winning

Students participate in many activities throughout the year to expand their knowledge in many areas of the curriculum.  Seventh grade students will participate in the Planting Science Program which will match them with mentors from universities and colleges across the United States.  The Eighth grade students are participating in the Great American Energy Debate this year.  More information to come - stay tuned!!

Innovative Classes and Technology

The 7th and 8th grade classes have the benefit of a SMART board that integrates the students work with the lessons.  Additionally, we have a wireless Airliner slate, Elmo document camera, and CBL motion detector that will upload data from experiments into graphing calculators.  

What's UP in Room 18?? News/Updates

We are down to our last two weeks of school.  There is still a lot of learning going on each day.  Seventh grade science is exploring ROCKETS!!  Students are completing three different rocket experiments to help them determine a strategy for creating their BEST rocket for a final launch contest.  The eighth grade has just finished dissecting a cow eye!!  This will conclude their unit on Light and the Eye.  The final classes will conclude with a scientific design contest where they will create and launch their own straw rocket.
