Learning Objectives:
  • Use scientific process skills (observe, classify, measure, infer/develop ideas, predict, conduct scientific investigations, communicate, and maintain accurate records of experimental procedures and results using formal lab write-ups).
  • This quarter begins with Science Safety, Tools, and Lab Procedures.  We will then focus our studies upon the scientific method, our earth, its structure and the interaction of water throughout the earth.
