The focus of this department is to help all students become scientifically literate. This involves the ability to design and carry out experiments and investigations as well as recall and verbal expression. A scientifically literate person knows that science is a particular way of learning about, looking at, and knowing the world. We believe that all students benefit from the honing of the intellectual skills learned through active hands-on participation in scientific endeavors. Skills learned in science education are applicable to a wide range of topics and issues that students are confronted by throughout their lives.

Upon completion of eighth grade, the student will have had experience in asking questions about how the world works; collecting and analyzing relevant data; formulating hypotheses from the studies of others, both past and present; testing hypotheses through prediction and experiments; communicating the results of investigations to peers; and examining the implications of scientific discoveries on social and economic systems.
