In this course, students will learn to critically think, better understand and apply their knowledge of science. As a result, students will gain an understanding of the connection between society, technology and science. The structure of the class is centered on Project Based Learning as students will have the opportunity to really challenge themselves with various projects.
Science is a very exciting course! Being 'present' in class, having an open and engaged brain at all times and giving a consistent effort are ESSENTIAL for students to reach their highest potential!
