The elementary science program introduces students
to concepts in both the Life and Physical sciences
through the use of inquiry-based laboratory kits developed
by Lawrence Laboratories at UC Berkley (FOSS program)
and the National Academy of Sciences (STC program).
Both programs are built upon the National Science Education
Standards and develop the fundamental vocabulary that
students will use at the secondary level. Benchmarks
help guide our instruction and mission - Science Literacy
for All Students.
Our elementary science content is taught
by classroom teachers.
