Introduction to Physics & Chemistry is a new course covering many of the topics formerly covered in Grammar of Science: Course 3 but at a slightly higher level. Introduction to Biology is also new. For 2021-22 only, we will also offer the discontinued 8th grade Earth Science course as a bridge for students who took Life Science in 7th grade or Grammar of Science: Course 3 in 6th grade last year. Introduction to Earth Science is the new 6th grade science recommendation.
