Welcome to Open House

Expectations: National Standards Middle Grades Ensure that instructional time for science is comparable to that provided for language arts and mathematics. Maintain class sizes that do not exceed 24 students to ensure instructional excellence and the safety of the students and the teacher, as recommended by the national science teachers association (NSTA, 2007). Ensure that 80 percent of science instructional time is devoted to inquiry-based laboratory and/or field investigations (NSTA, 2003). Provide investigations that develop students’ abilities to work collaboratively to formulate questions; develop experimental procedures; and collect, graph and analyze data using the appropriate tools, models and technology. Provide opportunities for students to explore careers in science. Encourage students to participate in science competitions and enrichment activities
