• Science as Inquiry
       The students will do science by engaging in partial and full inquiries that are within their developmental capabilities.
• Physical Science
       Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics and interrelationships of matter and energy in the physical world.
• Earth and Space
       The students will develop an understanding of the properties of earth materials, the structure of the Earth system, the Earth's history, and the Earth's place in the universe.
• Science and the Environment
       In learning environmental science, students will develop an appreciation of the natural environment, learn the importance of environmental quality, and acquire a sense of stewardship. As consumers and citizens, they will be able to recognize how our personal, professional, and political actions affect the natural world.

• Mathematics : Data analysis, Probability, and Discrete Math
       In problem-solving investigations, students discover trends, formulate conjectures regarding cause-and-effect relationships, and demonstrate critical thinking skills in order to make informed decisions.
• Mathematics : Patterns, Relations, and Functions
       In problem-solving investigations, students demonstrate an understanding of patterns, relations, and functions that represent and explain real-world situations.
• English/Language Arts : Standard 1
       Students read, comprehend, and respond to a range of materials, using a variety of strategies for different purposes.

• Identify, explain, and effectively use input, output and storage devices of computers and other technologies (e.g., keyboard, mouse, scanner, adaptive devices, monitor, printer floppy disk, hard drive).
• Use a variety of developmentally appropriate resources and productivity tools (e.g., logical thinking programs, writing and graphic tools, digital cameras, graphing software) for communication, presentation, and illustration of thoughts, ideas, and stories.
• Use technology tools (e.g., publishing, multimedia tools, and word processing software) for individual and for simple collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities for a variety of audiences.
• Gather information and communicate with others using telecommunications (e.g., email, video conference, internet) with support from teachers, family members, or peers.
