Exploring Phenomena Daily in Our Science Classrooms!
The instructional program offered by the Mepham Science Department strives to foster positive attitudes about science and the important role it plays in our lives. Our courses prepare students for the rigors of college study by incorporating 21st century skills combined with the implementation of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS).
The New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) are phenomena based. By exploring phenomena, students have opportunities to apply science and engineering practices and to build their own larger scientific understandings. A phenomenon is simply an observable event. Phenomena add relevance to the science classroom showing students science in their own world.
