Science
The main goal of the 6th-grade science program is to lay the foundation for future scientific experiences by developing inquiry skills in the laboratory and inspiring delight in the wonders of science. Because course content is explored mainly through laboratory experiences, the course serves as the vehicle for developing research skills. Students are taught how to answer questions through discovery and how to question their answers. Students realize that skills learned in the science laboratory apply to all areas of their lives and are useful throughout life.
