My seventh and eighth grade science classes are general survey classes. We cover biology, earth science, chemistry, physics....ALOT!! My main goal is to make sure that my students are soooo well prepared that high school science is a breeze. I also want to make sure that their foundation is really solid so they can really advance in future science classes.
