Throughout the year, students are also expected to connect science concepts to real‑world phenomena, engineering design, and environmental applications aligned with Minnesota’s adapted science standards.

Students will learn physical science concepts with a focus on understanding the relationships and interactions between matter and energy in the natural world. Topics investigated will include: types and forms of energy, chemical and physical properties of matter, forces and motion, electricity and magnetism, and waves and their interactions.
