May our science journey begin!Mission Statement
Science is a process of gathering information through precise and accurate investigation, in order to increase one's knowledge of natural phenomena and the unexplained. Sixth grade science introduces students to this investigatory pursuit of knowledge. It is through a process of active and authentic learning techniques that foster a students' inquiry skills, that sixth grade science will open the doors of scientific wonder and exploration to each student.~ Dr. Christi Browne
