Skills And Process
Students learn to generate their own
questions, form hypotheses, design
experiments, collect and analyze data,
interpret and visualize results, and draw
conclusions based on their data. With an
emphasis on “doing science,” students
frequently design their own experiments and
projects and are encouraged to iterate and
revise.
Real-world Relevance
We help students understand how science
matters in their lives and in the world. They
investigate the bacteria that grows on their
desks (and on their skin!), and they learn to
unpack the chemical compounds in the food
they eat. They consider the causes of climate
change—and develop and propose possible
solutions and adaptations.
Emphasis on Choice
Within all courses, students frequently
choose their own topics for their projects and
labs to apply concepts and skills in ways that
capture their personal interests. In the Upper
School, students in 10th through 12th grades
have the opportunity to chart their own path
in science courses based on their needs and
interests.
