Science Curriculum Grades 6-8
Background Information
During 2005-06 and 2006-07, middle school science curriculum implementation was a significant focus. The North Cascades and Olympic Science Partnership (NCOSP) grant enabled the district to realize significant cost savings in introducing middle level science curriculum. Significant study and alignment work has also been done to identify those gaps in content alignment requiring supplemental materials and instruction. Vocabulary has been assigned to appropriate and unique grade levels so that teachers, students and parents have expectations for terms necessary to master standards at each grade level.
