Middle School Science: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Overview
This course provides an engaging introduction to the three core areas of science - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology - designed for middle school students. Through real-world examples, and interactive lessons, students will build a strong foundation in scientific thinking and concepts.
Physics: Explore the basics of motion, force, energy. Students will learn how objects move, how forces interact, and how energy is transferred in everyday situations.
Chemistry: Discover the building blocks of matter, including atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions. Students will investigate the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, and learn how substances change and interact.
Biology: Dive into the study of living things, from cells and microorganisms. Students will understand how life functions, grows, and adapts to the environment.
By the end of the course, students will develop critical thinking skills, a deeper appreciation for the natural world, and a solid preparation for high school science.
