Course Description8th Grade:
During your child’s middle school science experience, students will be using an exciting science program called Project-Based Inquiry Science published by It’s About Time (iat.com). In project-based learning, students generate questions they need to answer in order to address a Big Question or Challenge (project) in each unit. Students will investigate as scientists by designing and running experiments, collecting and analyzing data. While creating and designing models they will use critical thinking skills, while collaborating with their peers. In addition, students will be able to communicate their scientific explanations, mirroring real world science concepts and practices. Throughout the school year, the students will use science and engineering practices as they complete long-term projects and learn the concepts outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). |
