Science

For grades 1 - 6, our Science curriculum, Discovery Works (developed by Silver Burdett Ginn, edited by Concordia Publishing House), offers clear, relevant science content. Students discover scientific principles through investigation. Science is taught in a way that integrates our Christian faith, showing God as the Creator of all.

The textbooks are bright, bold and captivating.  Each week, students get to experiment and discover through hands on lab activities.

Activities help students to make connections that show God as Creator and stimulate a discussion of science and Christian values. Students also receive special instruction when popular belief systems contradict the Word of God.

During the Space Unit the 5th graders turned their class room into an International Space Station. Then they gave tours to the rest of the school and parents.

Middle school grades use the new Glencoe Science Series modules.  

Special Projects

As part of the fourth grade Animals unit the class creates a Field Guide.

Each year we hold a school wide science fair. Kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th grades, do a group project as a class. First, Third, Fifth and Seventh Grade student do individual projects. First and Third grade students also create a threefold board with information about their project. The fifth and seventh grade students create a PowerPoint presentation about their project.
