School Supplies If you are a returning Panther student, you are welcome to reuse your science notebook for the '26-'27 school year if you still have empty pages and it is in good shape.
What are junior high panthers currently studying in science? As the school year begins, junior high students are reviewing lab safety in the science room in grades 6-8. (Each grade completes their own assignments and activities.) Additionally, students will learn expected procedures for class, groupwork, etc. We will complete a hands on lab activity in order to learn and review the components of well-designed controlled experiments and practice good science lab habits.
