Science

 

Much of the Science curriculum consists of observations and experiments. The student examines plants to learn the names and functions of the various parts. Seeds are planted to show how things grow, and small animals are present in the classroom so the children may observe animal behavior, as well as learn to care for animals. The student discovers many concepts such as solid, liquid, or gas, through experiments. Outdoor exploration is also an important part of the science curriculum. Students learn to observe, label, classify and theorize — essential scientific skills.

The children learn botany my matching illustrations of the parts of trees and plants with the correct names, and comparing them to the living plants. They learn concepts such as living and non-living by sorting objects and cards. Likewise, the children learn about different animals and their classifications through illustrated cards, including life-cycle cards and endangered species.
