There are no Advanced Learning opportunities in Science.

SCIENCE 6A & 6B | Required for 6th Grade | Year-Long

In this course, students will learn about: Microbiome; Metabolism; Thermal Energy; Ocean Atmosphere and Climate; Weather Patterns; Earth’s Changing Climate; Earth, Moon, Sun

Students will refine their science and engineering skills within the context of an engaging storyline to explain a phenomenon. Students will engage in the design process through two projects: Metabolism Engineering Internship and Earth’s Changing Climate Engineering Internship.

In addition, students will also take Sexual Health Education mid-year; families will be notified 30 days in advance of the unit start

INTEGRATED SCIENCE CTE 7A & 7B | Required for 7th Grade | Year-Long 

In this course, students will learn about: Geology on Mars; Neuroscience; Plate Motion; Rock Transformations; Phase Change; Chemical Reactions; Populations and Resources; Matter and Energy in Ecosystems.

Students will refine their science and engineering skills within the context of an engaging storyline to explain a phenomenon. As an integrated CTE course, students have three design projects: Earthquake-Resistant Building Engineering, Infant Emergency Support Design Challenge, and Coral Reef Restoration Robot Coding. We also have guest scientists from the University of Washington visit our classroom.

In addition, students will also take Sexual Health Education mid-year; families will be notified 30 days in advance of the unit start.

INTEGRATED SCIENCE CTE 8A & 8B | Required for 8th Grade | Year-Long 

In this course, students will learn about: Harnessing Human Energy; Force and Motion; Magnetic Fields; Light Waves; Traits and Reproduction; Natural Selection; Evolutionary History. 

Students will refine their science and engineering skills within the context of an engaging storyline to explain a phenomenon. As an integrated CTE course, students have three design projects: Emergency Supply Pod Design Challenge, Light Technology Speculative Design, and Malaria Treatment Design Challenge. We also have guest scientists from the University of Washington visit our classroom.
