Middle School Science - Energy/Marine Biology
Get ready to turn up the energy! In this hands- on class we will dive deeper into the wild world of Energy!
We’ll cook up heat experiments while tracking temperature changes and watching heat transfer in action. We’ll play with light using lenses, mirrors, and diffraction gratings to measure angles, follow how light bends (refraction), and split white light into a rainbow of colors. We’ll make sound ‘visible’ as we explore sound waves, amplitude, and frequency. Then we’ll spark things up with chemical energy and reactions that show how energy can be stored, released, and transformed.
Class will include weekly readings and homework assignments. There will be a test at the end of the semester. If you are enrolled in two Cheraz middle school science classes, you can choose for which class you wish to complete the homework.
