In the first year of middle school science, students are introduced to fundamental concepts across various branches of science, including biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. The curriculum typically covers:
Biology: Basics of cells, organisms, ecosystems, and the human body. Students learn about the structure and function of cells, the differences between plant and animal cells, and basic human anatomy.
Chemistry: Introduction to matter, atoms, and molecules. Students explore states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), the periodic table, and simple chemical reactions.
