Welcome to the SAA Science Box!! Over the next nine months, you will be challenged to “think outside of the box!” Our world is constantly evolving around some form of Science. Whether it’s Physical, Earth, or Biological Sciences, we will explore these concepts through the support of hands-on investigative activities and inquiries. Not only will we explore the wonderful world of Science, we will also uncover the mysteries of Science through a series of research labs, projects, group activities, class discussions, debates, and PowerPoint presentations. This year our class theme will be Risk-Takers. Risk-Takers - Approach unfamiliar situations and uncertainty with courage and forethought. - Have the independence of spirit to explore new roles, idea, and strategies. - Be brave and articulate in defending their scientific beliefs. Student Objectives: • Be able to plan and implement investigative procedures as part of a team, including: asking questions, formulating testable hypothesis, and selecting and using appropriate tools and technology while demonstrating safe practices. • Be able to organize, analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from direct or indirect evidence collected. • Be able to analyze, review and critique science based articles and literature. • Be able to communicate one's understanding of concepts and explanations logically and coherently. • Be able to represent the natural world using physical and/or mathematical models and identify their limitations.
