Mission Statement

The Gibbons Middle School science department uses teacher-designed curricula that aligns with the current MA Science, Technology, and Engineering Frameworks. Teachers in each grade conduct common labs and activities that are scaffolded to accommodate all learners, ensuring a common and inclusive experience for all students. Throughout both academic school years, students will focus on developing their scientific writing skills by making claims that are supported by evidence and reasoning which could include student generated graphs, mathematical calculations, data from labs, and published scientific research. Science skills such as the application of the scientific method, the design process and the proper use of lab equipment will be addressed at the start of the year and continue throughout.
