Science Inquiry
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. "
Benjamin Franklin
The expectation of learning through inquiry is built into the Ontario Curriculum (see below).
At St. Patrick's we believe in the power of experimentation as a tool for learning key 21st Century Skills such as collaboration, creativity & communication. All students are expected to grow their appreciation of science inquiry by conducting in-person & simulation labs throughout their schooling adventure.
