The goal of the Middle School Mathematics Science Technology Center (MS)2TC is to research, design, implement, and develop a powerful, unique learning environment and experience for high achieving students at the middle school level that integrates mathematics, science, English language arts, and technology.
The (MS)2TC Science Curriculum is based on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The NGSS describe what it means to be proficient in science. The standards view science as both a body of knowledge and an evidence-based model and theory building enterprise that continually extends, refines and revises knowledge.
