::Our Philosophy::
The Humberside Science Department believes that in order to provide an enriching learning experience for students that our courses must provide the following:
(1) Hands-On Lab Experiences
The Humberside Science Department prides itself in offering a wide variety of hands-on lab experiences to enhance the learning experience for all our students. Through these labs, scientific concepts come to life.
(2) Use of Technology
Humberside currently has three state of the art labs with computers, one each for biology, chemistry and physics. Students connect various probe ware to these computers to help them gather and analyze data. This enriches the students’ lab experience, while allowing for the collection of more accurate data.
(3) Rigorous Curriculum Delivery
In all of our courses we offer a stimulating and challenging curriculum to help prepare our students for post-secondary education. Many of our graduates find the transition from high school to college or university easier than their peers, because of how in depth the topics are taught in our department.
(4) Variety of Instructional Strategies
A wide variety of instructional strategies are used to provide learning opportunities to accommodate a variety of interests and experiences. Some of these include investigations, manipulative activities, independent reading, dissections, problem solving, research projects, direct instruction and differentiated instruction.
(5) Extra Help Sessions
To balance the challenges of the current curriculum, our Science Department provides extra-help sessions outside of class time. We recognize that the concepts taught in class can sometimes be complex and that students may require additional support.
