Science Curriculum

MISSION STATEMENT

Science promotes students’ innate curiosity about the world. Science provides a wide variety of experiences that help students develop the scientific processes: critical thinking, observational skills, and communicative skills. These are fundamental skills that are necessary for students to become active decision makers and will facilitate lifelong learning.

To give students a firm foundation in science and to develop these scientific processes our science program is designed to encourage students to:

  • wonder about the world around them and ask questions.
  • investigate by using a wide variety of resources and recording their findings.
  • reflect on their discoveries through summary and evaluation.
  • act on what they have learned by applying it to the world outside the classroom.

Our science curriculum will enable students to experience the joys of science while promoting individual thinking, problem solving and understanding. When possible it will be taught in an interdisciplinary manner using cooperative learning techniques and hands on activities. Through these, students will be able to experience the richness and excitement of knowing about and understanding the world around them.
