Science Program
Our Science program, Amplify Science, is taught by cluster teachers to deepen content knowledge and foster synthesis of ideas and concepts from K-5. Students are engaged in inquiry based and hands-on activities that require high level thinking across a variety of modalities allowing them to question and explore. Amplify Science blends digital experiences with hands-on lessons that inspire students to think like scientists and engineers to solve real-world problems.
Viewing the world as scientists and engineers
In our curriculum, educators ask students to investigate a problem or phenomenon as a biomedical engineer, marine biologist or food chemist would, to name a few.

Applying new knowledge more than once to deepen understanding
At the culmination of most units, students are presented a second problem, designed so students can apply their newly acquired knowledge to a similar problem in novel circumstances. It is in this step that students demonstrate a deep understanding of knowledge and recognize the strength of their intellectual
potential.

Do-Talk-Read-Write-Visualize
Amplify Science is rooted in the Do-Talk-Read-Write-Visualize model of learning. Coupling this process with a suite of digital apps, including modeling tools, computerized simulations, and science practice apps, students step into the world of science and learn from within it.
