The science program encourages a curiosity about the world and emphasizes
hands-on experience and observation. We seek to enable students to develop
an intuitive understanding of the concepts of science. The program goal is
to create a safe environment where the student feels encouraged to ask
questions, explore, seek answers, test ideas and enjoy science. We use
inquiry, creative problem solving skills, investigation and experimentation
to explore scientific concepts. Students keep a journal to record important
vocabulary words, questions and data from experiments, conclusions, diagrams
and concepts learned. PBS graduates know how to conduct experiments using
the scientific method and have a basic vocabulary and understanding of the
concepts in the life, earth and physical sciences.
