Our middle school science classes develop students' foundational knowledge and skills in the major branches of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences. One of the main goals of junior high school science education is to develop students' understanding of scientific principles (including scientific methods) and scientific inquiry.
Therefore, our science teachers teach students how to formulate hypotheses, analyze data, and draw conclusions based on evidence.
The vast majority of students who take science classes at AEI do so to preview school science courses and prepare for school exams and unit tests in advance. In particular, we have many students from Taipei American School (TAS), Taipei European School (TES), Kangqiao School, and Fuxing Private School, who come to AEI specifically to take science courses. We are familiar with the science curriculum of most international schools in Taiwan and Xiamen, so we can provide our students with the most effective preparation.
Taipei American School (TAS) Junior High School Science Department
At Taipei American School, the transition from lower grades to middle school can be quite challenging. In science, the teaching materials have become much more difficult, so many parents seek our help. The AEI teaching team is very familiar with TAS science courses and develops self-taught materials to provide students with a leading edge in good learning.
Ordinary junior high school science curriculum
For students who love science and want to explore science outside of school, we offer regular middle school science courses:
| grade | unit | describe |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Scientific Methods and Techniques | Students learn scientific methods and techniques, including how to observe, measure, and collect data. They will also learn about experimental design, data analysis, and how to communicate scientific findings. |
| 6 | Earth Science | Students study the Earth's structure, dynamic processes, and the effects of natural phenomena such as weathering, erosion, and plate tectonics. They also explore Earth's water cycle, weather patterns and climate change. |
| 6 | biology | Students learn about the characteristics of living things, including cells, heredity, and adaptations. They also explored ecosystems, food chains and biodiversity |
| 7 | physics | Students learn the properties of matter, including its behavior and interactions. They learn about energy and motion, including the laws of motion and the role of energy in chemical reactions. |
| 7 | Earth Science | Students explore Earth's atmosphere, including its composition and how it interacts with weather patterns. They also study natural resources such as minerals and fossil fuels and their impact on the environment. |
| 7 | biology | Students study the structure and function of living things, including plant and animal cells, DNA, and evolution. They also explored the human body, including its working systems. |
| 8 | physics | Students learn the principles of physics, including force, motion, and energy. They also explored the nature of light and how it behaves. |
| 8 | Earth Science | Students learn about Earth's geological history, including how rocks and minerals formed and how the Earth's surface has changed over time. They also learned about natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes. |
| 8 | biology | Students explore genetics and principles of inheritance, including the structure and function of DNA. They also study the processes of photosynthesis and respiration in plants and animals, and how these processes relate to recycling of materials in ecosystems. |
