The Secondary Science team strives to provide high quality professional learning opportunities for the science teachers of Humble ISD. These learning opportunities support our vision for our emerging scientists to critically question, analyze, and evaluate information, data, and claims, and to consider creative, thoughtful, and ethical solutions to issues and problems facing us today. We believe students need to DO science to learn science, and we want ALL students to see and value themselves as scientists.

2ndSci Playlist 2025.pdf2nd Sci Summer PL Calendar 2025.pdfDoing Science to Learn Science DAILY
Doing science daily looks like...
Instruction rooted in relevance and real life - everything we learn in science can be connected to what's going on in the world around us
Teaching and integrating science skills DAILY - whether we're conducting an experiment to answer a question or making a model to show what we know about a new concept, we use scientific thinking and communicating skills daily
Exploration before explanation - we want to experience, experiment, and connect with our prior knowledge first, then use the language of our discipline to describe what we observe and experience and extend our thinking
