AMSCO's Science
Grades 6–8
Life, physical, and earth science concepts for middle school students
Developed for year-long classes, AMSCO’s Science introduces relevant science concepts, encourages the inquiry process, and reinforces main ideas taught throughout the program. Each unit begins with an Essential Question that focuses the student on the “Big Ideas” of that unit. Chapters are divided into manageable lessons that allow for flexibility and include skill exercises, activities, science-centered websites, and interesting features on little-known science facts.
Teacher Packages include a Teacher Manual with additional lesson plans and activities and whiteboard lessons with additional questions, activities, images, and content review for each book.
Grade 6 covers the nature of scientific inquiry and units on simple and complex machines, weather, diversity of life, and interdependence.
Grade 7 includes units on geology, interactions between matter and energy, and dynamic equilibrium of humans and other organisms.
Grade 8 includes units on reproduction, heredity, and evolution; humans in their environment; earth, sun, moon systems; and forces and motion on earth.
