 From the youngest of their students, the preschoolers
and pre-kindergarteners, learning about plant growth to their
seventh and eighth graders dissecting frogs, the students have been
experiencing the wonders of God’s creation.
A Christian perspective emphasizing the wonders of the world God has
given us is taught along with each science experience. Science is
always a favorite subject among Zion’s students as they get to do
dissections, grow plants, watch and do chemical reactions, learn
about space, study habitats, and learn about motion and so much
more.
The biennial Science Fair was changed this year to accommodate COVID
restrictions. This did not stop Zion’s students from learning and
having fun with science.
The first and second graders did habitat dioramas and
presented them to their class.

The fifth and sixth graders made marble runs which
had to meet certain criteria; one was it had to be made out of
recycled materials. They then competed against each other to see
whose was the slowest!
The seventh and eighth graders were challenged with
coming up with a science demonstration and then relating that to a
Bible verse or story. These were then recorded and shared with each
classroom and our Facebook page.
Earth Science, Life Science, and Physical Science along with Health
topics are taught throughout the grades. The students study light,
matter, movement, cells, heredity, microbiology, plants, animals,
the environment, the human body, forms of energy, weather, the solar
system, plants, and the Earth’s natural resources.
Science is definitely an important part of Zion’s curriculum.
