Students will learn about the physical world around them. They will be able to identify how to measure and compare measurements. We will dive into the chemical world looking at atoms, the periodic table, and how elements bond together to create the world around us. Students will need to collect evidence and provide reasoning for scientific claims made. My science classes will be introduced to and utilize multiple technology applications.
