Instruction in Social Studies and the Sciences begins
with hands-on learning. Key vocabulary is introduced. Field
trip experiences and resource persons are critical elements in providing
concrete and vicarious learning experiences for the students. In
addition to the regular science program, students participate in science
laboratory activities as early as kindergarten Students learn research
skills and presentation strategies as early as six year olds with the
Native American presentations, a year or two later with County Fair
studies, then State Fair studies, and finally World Fair studies. The
quality of the student presentations, their research, and their displays in
the World Fairs and Science Fairs are judged. All elementary students
participate in Science Days each year, and Middle School students participate
in Science Fairs.
