Science: Grades 6 to 8

The Holy Rosary School Upper Grades Science Program is offered to all students in Grade 6 to Grade 8. The objective every year is to provide all students with an academically stimulating, yet enjoyable Science learning experience through class instruction and projects, hands-on labs, activities, and engineering challenges.

The Upper Grades Science Program uses the HMH Science Dimensions™ curriculum.  It is a program that is designed to make this year of science an exciting one for everyone involved! Together we will take a fresh look at science through investigations, hands-on labs, and explorations into topics including engineering, life science, Earth science, and physical science.

Each unit contains in-depth lessons that let students explore a variety of concepts related to the topic of study. These units and lessons include projects, hands-on labs, activities, and engineering challenges that provide your student opportunities to step away from their books or computers and actively participate in their learning.

HMH Science Dimensions™ will help your student build a foundation for how to evaluate evidence, make valid claims, develop reasoning skills, and synthesize information from a variety of sources. Let’s explore these dimensions of science together!
