Cascade Canyon

Science Program

In alignment with Cascade Canyon's multi-age classroom structure, the science curriculum at Cascade Canyon is based on a two-year alternating curriculum, with year one focusing mainly on earth and physical science and year two focusing mainly on life sciences. In this way, students have the benefit of going deep into focused units of study and of moving through a logically-scaffolded, thematic curriculum. Our science program includes standards-based curriculum as well as an emerging eco-literacy and gardening curriculum. This year, 2007-2008, we are in the life sciences cycle and we are excited to begin work in our new courtyard garden. Pictured on the left are our first and second graders from 2006-2007 working our native plant garden.
