This year's Science class will be studying the physics of heat, human impacts, weather and climate, cells and organisms. We will dissect a bird's wing and a sheep's eyeball, and use engineering skills to build a robotic hand.
I expect every student in my class to create a Science Fair project. We will be observing demonstrations and turning them into experiments many times this year. Class time will be devoted to the research and data analysis of student experiments for the science fair, as a result, their science projects will be included in the grade for second trimester.
We partner with Mission Springs Water District and Southern California Edison to learn about energy and water conservation. They donate kits for home projects. Students collect the data at home, then we analyze the data anonymously in class.
Below, you will find a link to the Next Generation Science Standards for a full list and details of what will be covered this year.
