WESTERN    INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL Science

Science 6

Through observation and space exploration, people have collected data and made inferences about the characteristics of the planets in our solar system. By using models, pictures, and diagrams, students begin to explore the spatial relationships and primary features unique to each planet. They can then compare and contrast the conditions that support life on Earth with those conditions on other planets and our moon. They investigate relationships between the Earth, its moon, and the sun and relate them to the seasons, tides, eclipses, and phases

of the moon, and discuss how they have affected humans throughout history.

Science Laboratory

Science 7

This course introduces students to a general understanding and fundamentals of the basics for living organisms dealing with energy, structure, function, systems, and interactions. Topics covered will include cells, heredity, evolution, classification, and 5 kingdoms of living organisms with the integration of environmental issues.

Science 8

This course introduces student to the basic understanding of the development, structure, composition, meteorology and oceanography of our planet Earth. Topics covered will be geology, the weathering, erosion, the atmosphere, oceanography, and the solar system.

Science 9

This course is the basic science that introduces students to the general understanding of the physical aspects of the environment, and how matters work and change. Topics will include scientific measurement, energy, chemistry, motion, electricity, magnetism, light, and sound.
