Picture representing Science

Welcome to the Science Department!

Our middle school program is a comprehensive study of earth/space science in sixth grade, life science in seventh grade, and physical science in eighth grade. Our teachers take a hands-on, minds-on approach in which students are presented with “real-world” applications in which they apply their acquired science and engineering skills. Our courses align with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Students are assessed on their science knowledge using the Maryland Integrated Science Assessment (MISA). This assessment  is administered in the early spring of their 8th grade year.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the science department chair.
