14. iTEAMS Annual Themes In a survey of 1000 SRCS students, all 3 rd – 8 th grade SRCS students showed interest in learning about the environment, transportation, and engaging in building projects. When asked what they liked best about math and science. Students mentioned, "working in groups" and "solving problems" and "investigating things” and ” inventing stuff."
