We believe that the science
program should strive to help
meet the needs of all students. We should prepare
individuals to use science to improve their lives and
cope with an increasingly technological society. We attempt to produce informed citizens who are prepared to
deal responsibly with science related social issues. We
make students aware of the nature and scope of a wide
variety of science and technology-related careers. For those
students who aspire to scientific careers, we endeavor to provide
the knowledge appropriate to their needs.
In order to fulfill these
needs, we revive and sustain in our students
the young child's enthusiastic curiosity about his/her
environment. Science is experimental by nature and
inherently involves experimentation in the classroom.
As educators, our goal is to foster scientific literacy in students that goes beyond the
regurgitation of facts, figures, and word meanings. Our
students must understand the process of scientific discovery
and its effects on society. A successful science program
should insure that all students see the need for competency
in science and understand that science is a tool for solving
everyday problems. |
