Meet the Teachers!

Nelsen Middle School’s science teachers work as a cohesive team to provide a strong foundation in science to students as they progress from sixth-eighth grade.

Our curriculum is balanced between content and the process of inquiry, which not only prepares students for high school but also prepares hard working students to be successful on the eighth grade Science WASL
