Science
Purpose:
To develop key concepts of scientific language, attitudes, and process skills
such as: predicting, observing, measuring, recording, data collection,
classifying, and drawing conclusions.
Philosophy:
Our hands-on exposure to physical science, earth science, and life science
will provide a well-rounded opportunity for the discovery of scientific
concepts. We view science as a cross-curricular concept that incorporates
the core learning areas: reading, writing, and math in a fun, applicable, and
meaningful way.
Physical Science - Young children begin naturally exploring the world of
science through the use of their senses. This unit will provide children with
the materials and experiences to develop their scientific process skills of
observing, classifying, comparing, predicting, and observing.
Earth Science - Through investigation and inquiry, children will learn how
their world has changed from the time of the dinosaurs until today. Also,
children will identify ways that they can become responsible caretakers of
their current environment.
Life Science - Children will experience the cycles of life through both plants
and animals. Our hands-on approach to life changes helps create a solid
scientific foundation incorporating observation, predicting, comparing, and
researching.
