middle school Science: driven by curiosity

In 2017, we took on a new science curriculum in the Middle School, in order to expose students to the foundations of biology, chemistry, physics, and space science in seventh and eighth grade. The Smithsonian's STC curriculum has been a great inquiry-based program for our school. Seventh grade science looks at matter and its interactions, and the structure and function of life. The lesson plans linked below were developed before we took on the new curriculum.
