Saraland Middle School

The goal of the Saraland Middle School science curriculum is to establish a structured body of knowledge about the natural world delineated in the three traditional domains of earth and space, life, and physical sciences.  Mastery of the standards provides foundational knowledge and learning progressions that are coherent, vertically aligned, and increasingly rigorous in preparing scientifically literate citizens with the ability to evaluate the quality of science information, gain an appreciation of science as a way of knowing about the world, and develop invaluable problem solving skills.  

 

The program's primary focus is for students to learn the process skills, content, and concepts identified as being important for the middle school science learner.  An exploratory learning method will be combined with the integration of technology, real world applications, and writing, providing a solid foundation for future successes in science.
