Science

At Twelve Bridges Middle School, science instruction is aligned with the California Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) using the Integrated Model.

This approach connects concepts across life science, physical science, earth science, and engineering, helping students build a deeper understanding of how science applies to the real world.

What Students Can Expect

  • Hands-on, inquiry-based learning
  • Opportunities to think critically and solve real-world problems
  • A focus on collaboration, communication, and scientific reasoning
  • Integration of engineering and design practices

Why Integrated Science?

Rather than teaching science in separate subjects each year, the integrated model allows students to:

  • Make connections across scientific disciplines
  • Build knowledge progressively over time
  • Apply learning in meaningful, real-world contexts
