SCIENCE
Meet the Teachers!
​
Welcome to 6th grade! Mrs. Callahan and Mrs. Avery are very excited
to begin this new year with a BANG! A “Science Bang” that is.
What to Expect in Science!!
​
Throughout the year both students (and sometimes parents) will be involved in hands-on learning projects, experiments, investigations, and discoveries that are sure to spark your curiosity. 6th graders will dive into the universe of Physical Science, Life science, and earth science! Along the way, students will investigate STEM based learning projects, moved by studying motion, cells, the solar system, light, and more!
