To accomplish this mission, teachers will strive to provide students with clear learning objectives using inquiry, hands-on laboratory experiments and project-based learning.  They will connect curriculum to the "real world" and integrate 21st century skills.  They will provide students with the background knowledge necessary to read and critique science-based media and make life decisions.
