ScienceThe Science program is a general science program based on the Scott-Foresman science series, but one which is flexible enough to include additional units based on each grade level’s special classroom highlights and our unique South Florida environment. The Scott-Foresman series is a comprehensive program which encompasses the four strands of science, Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, and the Human Body at each grade level. Each grade’s studies form the basis for the next year with each level building the foundation for the next. Our students experience a hands-on program with scheduled lab activities. Our program integrates science with other curriculum areas such as mathematics, language arts, and social studies. The science program at St. Stephen’s strives to increase each child’s knowledge and understanding of God’s wondrous creation, the interrelationships of things in this creation, and the child’s place in all of this. Inherent in our program is the goal of cultivating in our students the personal characteristics of good scientists. We hope they will become more curious, persistent in seeking knowledge, intelligently observant of the world around them, and cooperative, responsible, and scientifically literate citizens in an increasingly technological world. We endeavor to have our students develop appropriate and competent skills to work competently with basic lab equipment, carry out simple experiments following the scientific method, understand basic scientific processes and principles operating in the world. Through our program activities, we strive to have our students develop their skills of observing, classifying, measuring, communicating, predicting, recording and interpreting data, and controlling variables.
