Life Science

This cluster introduces middle school students to Life Science—from cells to genetics, through evolution and biodiversity, and finally to ecosystems and sustainability. As they explore these topics, students will also practice key science skills such as asking questions, developing models, analyzing data, and constructing explanations. More resources coming soon!
