K-6 Science Overview

 

SJA  Super Science!

Science is taught to all K-6 grades in lab as well as classrooms!

See Jr.Hi.Highlights for 7th & 8th grade science.

Standards-based science is taught to all grades,

engaging the younger students’ sense of wonder

about the natural world, and moving to a more rigorous

use of scientific methodology in Junior High. 

 

Our program includes hands-on, inquiry-based

experiments in the science lab as well as in the classrooms.

K-6 teachers drive the curriculum and it is enriched in labs

taught by both Mrs. Paluso and the teacher.

Technology is used to enhance our students’ exploration of

the world, and develop critical thinking and

scientific literacy skills to analyze their results.

 

Our mission is to prepare and produce engaged citizens,

the innovators and leaders of tomorrow.

S JA Students prove to be Energy Whizzes!

 

We all know we are in the midst of an energy crisis! Last Friday, our SJA students had the opportunity to show their understanding of the importance of energy EFFICIENCY.

As part of our Earth Week activities, UCSD students who serve in CALPIRG Energy Service Corps presented to each class an interactive educational program on the value of conserving energy. They promoted active environmental stewardship through energy efficiency, conservation of valuable resources, and cutting the high costs of our energy bills! See California Public Interest Research Group and AmeriCorps   www.EnergyServiceCorps.org

Everyone was impressed with our SJA students’ knowledge! And our students left with a better appreciation for the environment and understanding of energy conservation practices. Now, did they turn off those appliances not in use when they went home?!
