Science is a tool that delves into research and investigation done by others as well as a means of original research and investigation. Science is a questioning, creative process in itself, not merely a collection of facts or processes. It questions all things, rejecting the notion that ideas are unchangeable, and opens itself to continual scrutiny and modification. Science builds meaning through specific ways of observing, thinking, experimenting and validating. It is the intention of the Science Department Program to offer to as many students as possible the opportunity to study the world at all levels of complexity through a variety of introductory and secondary level courses.
