In this Integrated Science course, scholars explore the cross cutting concepts of structure and function, patterns, systems and system models while learning about weather and climate, energy, and the organization of living things. The year begins with an introduction to weather and climate, including the underlying causes of Earth's weather patterns. Next, scholars embark on an inquiry of global climate change and engage in engineering activities to explore ways in which to minimize human impact on the environment. The second half of the year focuses on learning about the structure of living things from cell to organism. Scholars discover the ways in which behavior, environment, and genetic factors impact the survival and growth of organisms. The following units will be covered throughout the year:

1. Energy

2. Weather and Climate Change 

3. Cells to Organisms 

4. Behavior, Reproduction and Genetics
