Prior to 2018, science at St. Mark's was taught in 1st-4th grade by a classroom teacher. Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, Lower School science will be taught by a Science Specialist. Between now & then, the curriculum will be developed & the lab (located in the new Winn Science Center) will be set up.
The goal is to create a program that introduces the students to age appropriate topics in physical science, earth science and life science, while also using engineering/design theory, a maker education mindset and a link back into the classroom curriculum, to allow the students to be hands-on and minds-in. In this way, students will see how science is related to all aspects of their life and will develop a love of science, not by "learning" science, but by "doing" science.
Thanks to the administration at St. Mark's for the opportunity to be part of this amazing learning community and for the journey ahead.
