What’s happening in Science and Social Studies this year?

I am excited to start a new school year.  This will be my second year teaching Science and Social Studies.  I’m an avid history buff and hope that my “love of all things history” will help me to instill a love of learning the subject to my students.  Science was very hands on last year and I’m looking forward to continuing to enrich the Science curriculum here at Union.

Social Studies

In 6^th Grade Social Studies we will be studying World History where we will study the civilizations form Egypt, India, China, Greece, Rome, and the world.

In 7^th and 8^th Grade we will return to American History beginning where we left off in 5^th grade to the present.  Study will include readings, projects, discussions and debates.

Science

During our time in Science from 6^th to 8^th grade students will study different aspects of Earth and Space Science, Physical Science and Life Science.  Study will include experiments, research, and projects to develop our understanding of the topics.
