Science Week Is Returning!

 

April 12 -16, 2010

The St. Agatha School is proud to announce the Second Annual, ALL-School, Science Week which will be held April 12th through 16th. Like last year, the focus of this program is to showcase “Science and Learning at St. Agatha’s” for all grades throughout the entire school. During this special week, St Agatha’s will come alive with science, highlighting many cross-curricular activities and lessons all grounded in the study of science and technology.

In keeping with the school’s emphasis on relevant learning, the primary feature of the week’s activities will be curriculum projects and/or curriculum related projects. All of these will be based upon the Massachusetts State Frameworks and the Archdiocesan guidelines.

As always, the St. Agatha School wants to share this learning experience with the parents and public. Tentative plans call for parent/public viewing by specific grade levels during the school day on Tuesday (4/13), Wednesday (4/14) and Thursday (4/15). A special evening presentation is also being planned for Thursday (4/15).

Although there will be no sweepstakes judging (1st, 2nd, etc.), awards will be presented for “Excellence” in a number of categories. In addition to the project work and the in class activities, all students will be immersed in related activities including daily Science Trivia, Science Words in daily conversation, mini-map drawings for the Science Museums in display classroom, and much, much more. There is also the possibility that students may be able to enter their project for consideration for the Archbishop Williams middle school science fair that is planned for late April.

Mark the dates on your calendar and join the St. Agatha School for “Science Week 2010” on April 12th through 16th.

St Agatha Middle School Science Curriculum

The focus of science education at St Agatha middle school is centered on the premise that actively involves students with inquiry based, hands-on experiments so as to “cultivate a positive attitude toward science and learning in general.”
The core of the curriculum is centered on the Earth, the Biological and the Physical sciences.
