Science - Intermediate Years Curriculum
The science program integrates a variety of scientific content areas while providing hands-on experiences that allow students to investigate and discover their world. Emphasis is placed on developing the children's understanding of how science relates to everyday life. A variety of learning experiences foster the development of the process skills of observing, classifying, analyzing, and inferring. Content areas studied include topics in physical science, life science, and earth and space science. At the fifth grade level, a three-day overnight environmental education program allows students to experience first-hand the importance of ecosystems and our environment. An in-house science fair for fourth and fifth grade helps students to develop their creative problem solving skills and to learn to use the scientific method as they conduct their experiments.
