Science with Mr. Silverio
The focus of studies in seventh and eighth grade Science is on the interaction of thinking processes with the content of science. Through the study of the living and nonliving worlds, students learn how to apply observations and intuitions to new situations and problems, they formulate hypotheses, design experiments, and draw conclusions.
In seventh grade, topics in biological and physical Sciences are addressed through the following content areas:
Energy in Earth's Systems
Cells-Microscope Unit
Heredity and Evolution
Human Body Systems
Food Production and Preservation
In eighth grade, topics in biological and physical Sciences are addressed through the following content areas:
Energy Transfer and Transformations
Forces and Motion ( Newton's Laws )
Earth, Sun, Moon interactions in the Solar System
Bridge Construction and design
I look forward to a great two years of middle school together. I hope you learn from and enjoy the adventures we have planned for you!
