Science Education

Practical hands-on experiences and opportunities to design investigations allow students to work through the scientific processes of predicting, observing and explaining. Students need to challenge their built-in assumptions in order to develop their understanding of key science concepts. The concept of fair testing needs to be at the heart of all scientific inquiries.
