INTRODUCTION
The science curriculum is designed to expose students to the major scientific disciplines through a wide range of both required and elective courses. A major goal is to help the student understand and adapt to a world that is continuously changing and to accept change as a necessary part of life. We believe that the acquisition of knowledge through the laboratory experience is the basic activity of science. Therefore, students will be continually challenged to explore through a well-designed series of laboratory activities in each course. Additionally, the labs at ISB are well equipped with modern technology to help students form valid conclusions about the accuracy and precision of their experimental results. The communication of their findings will be an important part of each course. Through a rich program of activities, labs and lectures, students will be challenged to develop individual thinking and critical attitudes concerning the methods of science and the limitations of the scientific method.
The curriculum will prepare our students for college, allow them to work in a way that demands mutual help and cooperation, and help them interact respectfully with an energetic, experienced and innovative science faculty.
