Science
The high school science program prepares students for college science courses. We offer sequences for students who are interested in science or engineering programs in college and for those who may not intend to take advanced science courses in college. Students study fundamental scientific principles, theories, and mathematical relationships, and learn scientific reasoning through inquiry-based laboratory investigations. In addition, it is our intent that students will:
• Understand the role of science and technology in their lives.
• Use scientific methods to analyze and solve problems.
• Make valid and ethical decisions about scientific issues.
• Become sensitive to the global implications of life-style choices.
• Evaluate their potential for careers in science.
The Middle School science program is designed to develop the skills students will need for success in the high school science program. It is our intent that our students will:
• Be able to intelligently react to the role of science and technology in their lives and be able to make
valid decisions in this area.
• Begin to value the potential they may possess as far as a career in science might be concerned.
• Understand the methods of science to enable them to become more effective learners.
• Be more sensitive to the global implications of our life-styles.
