Philosophy
The
principal goal of the East Longmeadow High School Science Department is to
help students acquire the ability to solve problems using critical
thinking and scientific methods. The development of this skill, combined
with an attitude of sustained intellectual curiosity is essential to
understanding our universe and the natural processes and forces that shape
and govern it. Students enrolled in science courses will study scientific
concepts, principals, terminology and procedure in the classroom and will
also have the opportunity to apply that knowledge while conducting
scientific experiments in a laboratory setting. This will enable students
to manipulate scientific equipment and materials in a responsible and
efficient manner. Students will learn to collect, organize and report
scientific data and formulate conclusions. It is vital that students be
technologically literate and understands the historical, sociological and
economic implications of developments are science in order to make
informed decisions as scientific issues impact society and their everyday
lives.
