5th and 6th grades learns general science. They build upon their knowledge from 5th grade. The order in which we cover the topics is: Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics, and Life Science. To prepare the girls for the 8th grade state science test, many of their assessment include 8th grade state science test questions and Living Environment Regents questions. This challenges and helps them get acquainted with the language of the state tests.
