Science

This year your child will partake in a number of science activities. During the beginning of the year, routines are set and students are familiarized with the expectations of working independently and cooperating in groups. Once this has been established, our curriculum will follow that set by the Massachusetts Department
of Education Frameworks. We use a texbook published by Harcourt, and there are four
hands-on units that will be used to supplement our science curriculum.

To access our textbook and other science activities on-line, please follow the link below:
