Philosophy:
The study of science has
been a fundamental activity of humans since they first took notice of
the world around them. The science department, through its various
course offerings, attempts to instill in each student a corresponding
inquisitive nature. The staff communicates the facts relating to each
specific area. Furthermore, they illustrate how those facts relate to
situations surrounding the student at the present time and in their
future endeavors. Those goals are achieved by familiarizing students
with the “scientific method” and helping them to use the principles of
scientific reasoning. In conjunction with the use of experimentation and
the Scientific Method, the Science Department at Fenton High School
realizes the importance of guided and unguided practice while in
the pursuit of knowledge. In this light, the teachers of Science give
homework on a regular basis as a part of the learning process. Students
who fail to complete these homework assignments are not reaching their
maximum potential and will be strongly encouraged to complete each
assignment in a timely fashion.
Requirements and Recommendations:
Two
(2) years of Science are required for graduation from Fenton High
School. The first year in the science progression must consist of a
Biological Science course. This course will be Biology, Accelerated
Biology, or Applied Biology. The second year in the science progression
must consist of a Physical Science course. This course will be
Chemistry, Physics, Physical Science, or Applied Physical Science.
Placement in all courses will be under the guidance of the division leader and determined by high school placement testing, counselor
direction, teacher recommendation, and student need.
