Overview of Topics
At St. Timothy's School, science is a VERB! Children are by nature scientists, asking questions, testing hypotheses, learning by doing. Our aim is to nurture that natural curiosity and make learning science an interesting and fun experience.
Rather than address all branches of science each year, we have broken down the sciences into distinct areas in order to allow for more thorough investigations. Fifth graders receive instruction more generally in process skills, life, and physical sciences. Sixth graders concentrate on the biological sciences. In 7th grade, students are exposed to several branches of earth science that include environmental, earth, and astronomy. Finally, 8th graders participate in investigations exploring chemistry and physics. |
