My Project

The 7th graders are working hard to learn the concepts of life science through exploring real-life phenomena. They are reading texts, collecting evidence, conducting experiments, sharing their findings, and writing scientific arguments.

Students learn and reinforce their learning through play; science has many games that offer these learning opportunities.

There are many games offered for students to play and learn that cover the major topics we study in middle school science: Genetics, Cells, Ecosystems, Ecology, and Evolution. These games will allow students to experience the information in another mode while interacting with their peers.
