Welcome to Mrs. Houghton's Science Classroom!
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year, Mustangs! I am very excited to be back at Shoal River Middle School for my third year of teaching.
For those of you in my Earth/Space Science class, you will not only learn how to conduct a scientific experiment, but you'll also learn about the structure of Earth, which includes topics such as the rock cycle, earthquakes, volcanoes, and Plate Tectonics. You will also study Earth systems and patterns, which includes weather, climate, and causes of natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes. We will finish the school year with, my favorite, SPACE SCIENCE! We will learn about planets, stars, and space exploration. And in my Advanced Life Science Classes, you will also review the nature of science at the beginning of the year before digging into cells and life processes. You'll learn about the human body and how it manages materials and controls body processes. Next, we'll study genetics and heredity followed by a look at populations and communities and the transfer of matter and energy in living things. This is going to be amazing year, and I can't wait to meet you all! -- Mrs. Houghton |
