Science is taught to all our students from K through 8th grade!  The curriculum is standards based and also integrated into the religous studies.   
 
Our hands-on, minds-on child centered science lab typically focuses on developing ideas by making connections between ideas and evidence through an inquiry-oriented, inductive approach in which data is collected and interpreted to build up to a main idea or conclusion.  Emphasis is placed on building scientific literacy and using a scientific method to write/communicate ideas in our 5-8th grade classrooms.  Students learn the method in steps in our K-4 classrooms.  Our annual K-8 Science Fair celebrates our students' own investigations!
 
Middle School:  Science is minds-on, hands-on labs,  inquiry based, technology supported everyday!  We follow the California science standards and more!  Grade 6 concentration is Earth Science, Grade 7 does Life Science, and Grade 8 does Physical Science.  Grades 7 & 8 may participate in the regional, GSDSEF, & State Science Fairs!  Grade 6 participates in our school Science Fair.  Students complete projects at home with teacher, parent, and sometimes mentor guidance.
 
K-5th:   
Science is team taught with classroom teachers.  It is a hands-on, inquiry based lab experience once a week in the science lab and more in the classrooms.  Grades K-2 each participate in our school Science Fair with  CLASS projects.  In addition, students may do individual projects at home with parent guidance, if they wish.  Grades 3 & 4 students each do individual projects in class with the guidance of their teacher (parents are welcome to assist).  Grade 5 completes their projects at home with the guidance of their teachers and parents.
