Science classes at Doty Middle School will engage students using an inquiry-based science curriculum aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The major domains of earth science, life science, physical science, engineering, and human impact are taught in every grade level. This integrated model builds understanding in all disciplines so that prior knowledge is connected to and applied in each subsequent year.<\/span><\/p>\n Cells and Body Systems, Weather and Climate, Genetics and Organism Adaptations, Human Impact on the Earth<\/span><\/p>\n Structure and Properties of Matter, Chemical Reactions, Cycling of Matter and Energy, Earth\u2019s Resources, Earth Processes, Ecosystem Interactions, Human Impact on the Earth<\/span><\/p>\n Forces and Motion, Fossils and Mass Extinction, Evolution and Natural Selection, Human Impact on the Earth<\/span><\/p>\n At the end of 8th grade, students will be assessed on all three years of their learning through the California Science Test (CAST), which is an online assessment based on NGSS.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.0.7″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/web.dusd.net\/doty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2020\/06\/science_3.jpg” alt=”Social Studies students dressed as Roman soldiers” src_last_edited=”off|desktop” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.4.3″ transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate=”0px|-100px” transform_translate_tablet=”0px|0px” transform_translate_phone=”” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_linked=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin_tablet=”20px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” border_radii=”on|2px|2px|2px|2px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.3″ custom_margin=”-100px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”15px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”15px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Doty students working on a science project<\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.6″ custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ background_enable_color=”off” admin_label=”Dept Chair” border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#EDCD1B” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false”]<\/p>\n6th\u00a0<\/span>Grade<\/h2>\n
