Middle School Science (6-7-8) A / B

This is a two-semester class.
	
Science 6A is an integrated science course that covers topics selected from Earth and space science and physical science. This course discusses the structure and properties of matter, force interactions between objects, and Earth and space systems. In the first unit, you’ll explore the composition of matter and atomic arrangements of substances. In the second unit, you’ll identify forces and analyze the motion of objects using words, equations, and graphs. In the last unit, you will study interactions in the solar system and the role that gravity plays in the motion of celestial bodies.
	
Science 6B is an integrated science course that covers topics selected from Earth and space science and life science. This course discusses Earth’s history, its ecosystems, and its climate and weather. In the first unit, you’ll explore the history of Earth and how natural forces such as wind and water shape its formation. In the second unit, you’ll study the relationships between the physical and biological elements of Earth’s ecosystems. In the last unit, you will discover how the uneven heating of Earth from the Sun leads to its various climates and weather patterns.
	
Science 7A discusses the major life processes of organisms, including nutrition, growth and development, and reproduction. In the first unit, you’ll explore the cell as the structural and functional unit of life.
