Completion of the program will give students an understanding of key techniques and procedures in laboratory science, as well as foundational background material for students that will facilitate their progression into deeper study of the individual sciences, at whatever level, later in their high school careers. The order in which the semesters are studied is immaterial.
Digital Citizenship: Foundations of Science was the pioneer course for 1-to-1 devices at the high school level. As such, students will have access to a device (iPads, Chromebooks, or laptops) each class period. Students are expected to respect district devices, create an ethical and responsible digital footprint, and collaborate with peers via their GAFE (Google Apps for Education - assigned by district) account and district-approved social media outlets. Students will be instructed on appropriate use according to the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE) standards for students, and appropriate district-level standards.
