Chaparral's Science department is devoted to a rigorous, hands on approach to teaching the content standards in grades six through eight. For a full description of these grade level standards, please visit http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/sciencestnd.pdf
Additionally, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sends a deputy periodically to instruct our students in the department's STAR program. For more information about this program, click here.
All eighth grade students will take a STAR assessment near the end of the year which covers mastery of the eighth grade standards. Download the documents below to find resources available from the state that will help students to prepare for this assessment.
