Neelsville Science
Welcome to Neelsville Middle School Science. This curriculum is a unique problem/project-based curriculum. The learning is student-centered with the teacher acting as a facilitator. Instruction is woven around one main problem within each unit of study, and students will be presented with a request for proposals (RFP) at the start of each unit. Students engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in order to propose solutions to identified problems. They will then use a design folio throughout the quarter to research, develop, design, and evaluate their proposal.
