Science

Our science curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, real world application, and critical thinking. Students engage in inquiry-based projects that connect scientific principles to everyday life, fostering a deeper understanding of natural phenomena, with a focus on how to make our planet more sustainable. By exploring topics like ecosystems, weather, energy, and simple machines, students learn to apply scientific ideas to solve real-world problems. This approach helps students build a foundation in scientific literacy, preparing them to think critically and creatively. The curriculum integrates engineering and sustainability practices, and students develop skills such as observing, questioning, experimenting, and analyzing.
