My Project

An interdisciplinary approach to education has been proven to enhance outcomes in all subject areas. Refreshing our science library with new, dynamic resources will breath new life into our science investigations as students strengthen their scientific lens across subjects.

In an increasingly digital world, our middle school students continue to use print resources to deepen their science knowledge and foster a love of literacy.

Students in grades 6-8 will utilize newly-released, science-themed books that extent their understanding and help them think creatively about the ubiquitous nature of science. Integrating literacy into our STEAM topics will greatly enhance learning outcomes for our diverse, urban population!
