Mission Statement

The mission of the Farmingdale School District Science Department is to cultivate a spirit of discovery, innovation, investigation, exploration, and problem-solving through respectful discourse. Students will investigate real-world phenomena to develop a deep understanding of core scientific ideas through evidenced-based arguments and concrete models.  Learning environments will foster risk-taking, provide spaces for all students’ voices to be heard, support diverse learners, and foster opportunities for collaboration.  The students will acquire scientific literacy and abstract thinking to apply to any future career pathway.
