Before there were Physicists, Chemists and Biologists...
there were scientists, and they studied natural phenomenon and used the scientific method to develop explanations for what they observed. Over time, they developed these disciplines and science became delineated into specific fields of study, but it wasn't always this way. Integrated Science mirrors this fundamental, broad approach to science which blurs disciplinary lines. We will spend the year observing phenomenon, and learning the science behind the explanations for these. Along the way, we will pose complex questions that will allow students to apply what they've learned to develop creative solutions. They won't always seem like your typical science projects, but that is ok. These projects will provide experience which will hopefully provide a much richer experience and result in a deeper and more robust understanding of the basic scientific principles addressed.
