Science

The science curriculum at Cocalico Middle School is aligned to the PSSA Science and Technology standards. There are three areas of focus: Earth and Space in 6th grade, Life Science and Ecology in 7th grade, and Physical Science in 8th grade. To achieve mastery of concepts, students are engaged in hands-on laboratory investigations, creating models, small group activities and reading and responding to scientific literature. The middle school science experience prepares students to understand and engage in problem solving of real world science and environmental issues.
