Course: Science 9

TEACHER REFLECTION: The recuring theme of “Balance” is prevalent throughout Science 9, and Science 10.  It is the one word that can be used to express content in all areas of the curriculum. When students discover this connection, the reaction resembles an epiphany of deeper understanding.  The last two weeks of “Deeper Learning” provides the opportunity to explore these connections.

The chosen students have distinguished themselves through their deep cultural connections, exemplary leadership, and dedicated service in their schools and broader communities.
