Scientist KnightOur science program assists students in developing a scientific knowledge that will enable them to become independent inquirers and better problem solvers. Students are routinely challenged by hands-on experiences in the classroom and are presented with a wide variety of opportunities to apply their scientific knowledge, to design and analyze experimental data, and to make quantitative and qualitative observations. Our students demonstrate their knowledge of the scientific method by following the steps in completing an annual science project:
Scientific Method
  • Selecting a topic to research
  • Composing a problem statement
  • Forming a hypothesis
  • Identifying independent/dependent variables
  • Deciding how to test a hypothesis
  • Determining how/what data to collect
  • Selecting an appropriate type of graph for displaying the data
  • Interpreting the experimentation results.
