At St. John Chrysostom, our science curriculum for elementary and middle school students is designed to ignite curiosity and foster a lifelong love for discovery. In the elementary grades, students explore fundamental concepts in life science, earth science, and physical science through hands-on activities and interactive experiments. They learn about the natural world, weather patterns, the basics of ecosystems, and the principles of matter and energy. As students progress to middle school, the curriculum delves deeper into scientific inquiry and critical thinking. They engage in more complex experiments and projects, covering topics such as cellular biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science. Our program emphasizes the scientific method, encouraging students to ask questions, conduct research, analyze data, and present their findings. By integrating technology and collaborative learning, we prepare our students to understand and address real-world challenges, laying a solid foundation for future scientific exploration and academic success.
