Thank you for your judgment, for many who read your response may share that
you're working to hard, instead of thinking gard.
Keep this in focus, Middle School Science is a beginning, not an ending.
Sixth Graders are taught the foundation of Science that would include Earth
and Biological Science, and these include the tools found within Mother
Nature's Toolbox which changes the face of the Earth forever... Earth
Science... and how the Biological Structures of animals, breath, eat, and
pass waste. Tell me, do you know the basic stages of breathing? Don't
provide book sense, try common sense: "Into the mouth, down the esophagus,
into the Trachea, down through the Bronchus. Over to the Bronchioles, into
the Alveolies. and out-of-the lung. into the blood stream, over to the
heart... this continues down through the appropriate ventricles, down the
body, up the body, into the brain, out of the brain, down the body into the
appropriate Ventricles, over to the lung. Then into the lung"... reverse
the process until out-of-the mouth.
Children of this age can relate, because it is what they do 24/7. How they
eat follows something similar, but a different pathway. Once Sixth graders
learn animal method of breathing and eating, which leads to a different
pathway to exit the body, they may enter seventh grade where they'll learn
the walls that stand upon this foundation. Plants functions a different,
but taking in liquid is basic: "Water in the ground, absorb by the roots,
up through the xylem, over through the branch, into the leaves, into the
Cell with its ridge cell wall. Inside the cell is chloroplast, water, and
carbon dioxide. Fueled by the Sun there's a chemical reaction that goes
like this. "Sugar plus water, plus carbon. makes oxygen. Leaves give us
through transpiration water and oxygen, leaves take in water and carbon,
and expels water and and oxygen, through a process called Stomata... "Whats
Stomata with you?"
I said all of this to express the steps of learning in Middle School, many
don't know, but they know what those in power say. I am not in power, but I
prove to those in power that "I know best".
Sixth grade learn the foundation of Science, Seventh grade learn in walls
that stand upon the foundation, Eighth grade learn the rafters that bear
the roof. Ninth grade learn the wiring and plumbing throughout the
structure that was built in Middle School, Tenth grade learn the walls that
cover wiring and plumbing. Eleventh grade installs the furniture that
brings it all together. Twelve grade are introduced to a new foundation of
Science from within a "Different World" of learning (University).
I do hope this helps... -
