Integrated Science includes the study of chemistry and physics
and applying these concepts to the study of geology, oceanography, meteorology and
astronomy. Students are first given a
solid foundation in chemistry and physics so that they can apply these sciences
to the Earth processes that affect us now and tomorrow. Students will explore the importance of clean
water sources, energy resources, weather prediction and examination of earth
materials and minerals. Students will
also be given the opportunity to problem-solve, both in the laboratory and in
the classroom. These skills will enhance
the students’ abilities to make sound decisions about issues in our lives as
individuals and citizens.
