1. Science is listed as a "noun" but we prefer to approach it as a "verb" - as in "let's do science".
2. Science is the accumulation of knowledge regarding patterns in nature. This knowledge comes from repeated observations and testing.
3. Science is the creative, yet systematic and logical, approach to solving problems.
My name is Eric Dralle. I have been the Chemistry and Physics teacher at Osage High School since 2000.

My areas of emphasis are science teaching pedagogy and lab curriculum development.
