Nyack Middle School

Living Environment involves many avenues of inquiry into the nature of life.  An interrelationship of structure and function is progressively built from the biochemistry of a simple cell to the human being.  The intricacies of nutrition, adaptation, growth, and reproduction are considered on all levels of life forms.  The students are given an introduction to evolution and ecology of organisms as considered within the framework of the environment.  Students are also required to meet the demands of New York State in terms of required laboratory work.
