Science is a field of human endeavor that seeks the truth about how the natural world functions via what is commonly called “the scientific method.” Although there is not one single scientific method, the heart of science centers on deductive reasoning and making claims based upon evidence. To reflect these central scientific values, the question that guides our Science Department is: “How do I/we know what is really true?” As we plan curricula, lessons, and activities, our focus is on presenting relevant material, placing emphasis on students analyzing data and solving problems, and ensuring effective communication among all parties.
