    Science Specific
    - PBL
    - NGSS
    - As a science team (6-8) we provide middle level students with an authentic experience allowing them the autonomy to research topics of interest and solve real-world problems. To be successful in this process we help students to become proficient in the 21st century skills and the science and engineering practices.
    It is our hope that through inquiry-based instruction students can learn to love science.
