Students in middle school continue to expand their knowledge and understanding of general science, including science inquiry, physical science, life science, Earth and space science, and the environment as discrete or integrated studies.B. To develop a deeper understanding of concepts, science content focus areas have been identified for grades 5-8. They are listed in Table 4. Table 4. Middle School Science Focus Areas |
Grade | Focus Area |
5 | General Science (All Strands) |
6 | Physical Science |
7 | Life Science |
8 | Earth and Space Science |
C. In addition to the designated focus areas, the science as inquiry (SI) and science and the environment (SE) strands are integrated into each of the middle school grades. Other content may be integrated locally within school districts. While focus areas are stressed at different grades, the extended standards for grade 8 focus on integrated science, which is reinforced by more focused curriculum in grades 68.La. Admin.
