Middle School Sciences

Science in my classes cover Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Environmental Sciences. I utilize many different methods, but try to allow students to discover and learn for themselves, using field studies, experiments, and student-guided inquiry.

6th Grade Science
In the 6th grade, students will cover the solar system, lithosphere, cycling of matter and energy in an ecosystem, light and sound energy, and population dynamics.

7th Grade Science
The seventh grade curriculum includes the weather and our atmosphere, motion and forces, anatomy and physiology, and heredity and genetics.

8th Grade Science
Our 8th graders study the hydrosphere, chemistry, cell theory, microbiology, and evolution.

Technology
Middle school students have access to many different educational software packages and opportunities to incorporate technology into their education as well as into their every day lives. They will be proficient using Inspiration, Type To Learn, word processing, presentations, and spreadsheets. Blogging, videoconferencing, web applications, wikis, and web development are also Tech possibilities. All eighth grade students, prior to their graduation, will have completed the North Carolina Computer Competency Exam.
