About Junior High Math & Science
Math 7 & 8
Pre-Algebra and Algebra are fun and exciting courses that will help our students develop critical thinking and mathematics skills so that they can connect, create, collaborate, and communicate effectively in our world. Math is based on order and rules which are constant and unchanging. As we go through these courses, we will see how math exhibits God’s attributes.
Science 7 & 8
Life Science is the study of the living world, created and given to us by God to order and protect. Physical Science is the study of the structure and order of the world created by God.In our science courses, we will critically evaluate the world through a Biblical lens in order to learn more about our Creator and recognize the evidence of His handiwork in all living things. Lab work will be an additional component of these courses that will provide hands-on illustrations of key points. Some lab work will be done in the classroom, and other labs will take place outside or in the science lab.

Here's What We've Been Learning
The Science of Tug of War
Students had a tug of war contest during science class as we learned about balanced and unbalanced forces. When the forces - students - are balanced/equal in strength, there is no net force, so the students don't move very much. When the forces are unequal, there is movement - net force.
Marble Roller Coaster
Students participated in a marble roller coaster lab illustrating kinetic and potential energy. Potential energy happens at the top of each drop and loop, kinetic energy happens everywhere else in the roller coaster.
Note-Taking
In math and science classes, students practice note-taking skills as they learn each lesson. The skills they learn in Junior High help prepare them for more advanced classes in high school and beyond!
