We have programs that meet and exceed all National Science Standards at each grade cluster level. There are four strands for each cluster and include earth and space science, life science (biology), physical sciences (physics and chemistry), and technology/engineering. Because of our hands-on approach with lots of make and take home projects we work exclusively in all the strands except the life sciences. Here are the subtopics at each grade cluster level:
PreK - Grade 2
Earth & Space – Earth’s Materials, The Weather, The Sun as a Source of Light & Heat, Periodic Phenomena
Physical - Properties of Objects, States of Matter, Position and Motion of Objects
Technology/Engineering - Materials & Tools, Engineering Design
Grade 3-5
Earth & Space – Properties of Rocks & Minerals, The Weather, The Water Cycle, The Earth’s History, The Earth in the Solar System
Physical – Properties of Objects & Materials, States of Matter, Forms of Energy
Technology/Engineering – Materials & Tools, Engineering Design
Grade 6-8
Earth & Space – Mapping the Earth, Earth’s Structure, Heat Transfer, The Earth’s History, The Earth in the Solar System
Physical - Properties of Matter, Elements, Compounds and Mixtures, Motion of Objects, Heat Transfer, Forms of Energy
Technology/Engineering – Materials, Tools & Machines, Communication & Construction Technologies, Manufacturing Technologies
