Science

OUR SCIENCE FACULTY EMPHASIZE the following goals: to develop students' understanding of basic scientific principles in order to foster growth as knowledgeable citizens; to develop an understanding of a diversity of living organisms with an emphasis on the human and relate this understanding to the problems of preservation and conservation of the world resources; and to develop an awareness of ethical issues regarding the use of science and technology. We help students achieve this through teaching that emphasizes analytical skills based on experimental observation, and, wherever possible, mathematical application of concepts and laws; open-ended questioning; and reflective writing in journals, research notebooks, and lab reports.
