Science

At St. Thomas More, we believe that science is much more than a collection of facts. Our courses are designed to teach science as a process that is used to understand the world around us. Scientific reasoning, problem solving, laboratory activities, and experimentation are essential components of every course. The role of science and technology in society is emphasized throughout the program. In each course, the content is related to the everyday experiences of the student.

Students are encouraged to develop the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about science-related issues.  Science career opportunities are also presented in each course.   Our science program allows students to investigate a wide variety of subjects. The sequence of courses is designed to correspond to the developing skills of the student. Courses are available for students of all ability levels. The program has been designed to meet the needs of all St. Thomas More students.

Students will:

• Practice scientific reasoning, problem solving, laboratory activities, and experimentation
