Information About Our Classes

All Natural Science classes emphasize scientific process and inquiry. Subject matter is consistent with federal and state science content standards, although may vary between sections of the same class. Activity-based labs are integrated with lecture and homework materials. A variety of teaching methods are modelled and practiced by students.
