  2. Track 1 – Middle School Science • 6th: Life Science • Organisms - “Organisms From Macro to Micro” • Genetics – “ Our Genes Our Selves” • Evolution/Ecology – “Evolution/Ecology” • 7th: Earth Science • Fundamentals of light: “Light: Part 1” • Earth Systems: “Catastrophic Events” • Solar System: “Earth In Space” • 8th: Physical Science • Physics of light: “Light: Part 2” • Basic physics: “Energy, Machines and Motion” • Basic Chemistry: “Properties of Matter”

  6. Things to Consider… • Academic Requirements • 8th grade biology book is 10 grade reading level • Algebra II skills will be essential • Motivation and challenge • No courses will be “dumbed down” • Possible low level of success: C’s and D’s are possible • Maturity and comfort level • Possibly not with grade level peers • Cautious and careful behaviors essential

  7. Recommendation… • Look at the MSP Scores from 4th grade; • Students should be > 430 on reading • Students should be > 500 on math

  8. Can my student change back to Track 1 once they have begun Track 2? • Students can only change back if they are receiving an “F”. • If they are successful until biology and fail biology as an 8th grader, can they retake biology in high school? • Yes, they can retake biology in high school. Passing the End of Course (EOC) Biology Test is required to pass high school • However: The grade will go on the high school transcript and will count toward overall high school GPA
