What is integrated Science?
Integrated Science is a combination of different fields of science. Most of the work we do will be related to the fields of Earth/Physical Science, Chemistry, and Physics.
Earth/Physical Science is the study of non-living materials, physical objects, inanimate objects, nature, ecosystems and the world around us. We'll also incorporate some space science as well. We'll study how matter is put together, how energy is formed, how weather behaves, and even how we can improve our environment.

What is Biology? |
Biology, in comparison to Earth/Physical Science, deals with living and organic objects. We'll learn about all the various life processes, how organisms are designed and put together, how organisms are classified, and how they adapt and survive in their environments.

What we do in science...
Science is all about discovery. As we are using Chromebooks in the classroom, this will give us the chance to do research, find interesting articles and pages that will enhance the learning. We will also try to utilize laboratory skills, doing things hands on to help us with our discoveries. Much of our time will also be spent showing how to be a good scientist, utilizing the Scientific Method, making calculations and conversions, and knowing how to measure things.
