Program Description Science
Science at the elementary level will explore concepts
in three main areas during the school year: Earth Science,
Physical Science, and Life Science. The Scientific Method
and Measurement concepts will be incorporated in all
three areas, and coordinated with laboratory activities.
Science at the secondary level begins with a foundation
of core classes in Earth Science, Physical Science, and
Biology. Students are encouraged to expand their scientific
knowledge by taking elective courses during their junior
and senior years. All secondary courses include laboratory
investigations.
State standards are imbedded throughout the curriculum,
from K through grade 12, and guide its instructional
objectives. Health
Health at the elementary level will explore concepts
in five main areas: healthy lifestyles, risk taking behavior,
communication skills, consumer health, and mental and
emotional wellness. A team composed of the classroom
teacher, the counselor, the nurse, and the PE specialist
will teach the curriculum.
Health is taught in the 8th and 11th grades at the secondary
level and the curriculums guides are based on the same
concepts mentioned above.
