What makes our Science Program so great?
Science learning experiences occur in the classroom, in the laboratory, and in the field. In these experiences, students discover facts, concepts, and laws of science for themselves, much as scientists do in their professional lives.
Experiences that extend from the classroom into the field allow students to explore, observe, and investigate things in the natural world that cannot be brought into the classroom learning environment.
The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science require teachers at all grade levels to be provided with a wide range of materials and instruments for facilitating student investigations. They also require that students, at every grade level and in every high school course, have field experience and do field work.
On-campus and off-campus field work, field trips, or field investigations provide first hand experience to a well-designed inquiry-based science program for students. Direct observations in a field setting provide a more stimulating and rewarding experience for our students.
