Science - Mrs. Brooks
In 7th grade, we explore topics such as soil, rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, cellular biology, force and motion, and anatomy.
​
We use the SEPUP Lab-Aids curriculum in class, which is a hands-on inquiry-based method. All students are required to keep a binder with lab pages, handouts, and resource materials in it to, which acts as their own textbook.
