CURIOSITY AND AMAZEMENT IN SCIENCE CLASSES
Science stimulates and excites children´s curiosity about phenomena and events in the world around them. Conscious of this challenge, the Primary Department continues fostering positive attitudes towards Science contents with practical activities and discussions to develop abilities and scientific skills to explain, interpret and value nature.
When approaching our classes under the Scientific Method Framework, the “Learning-by-Doing”, students not only observe and ask questions but propose explanations, predict phenomena, investigate, record and interpret data and draw conclusions crucial to become young scientists.
To accomplish these expectations, the outstanding Science team follows the International Cambridge Standards for strengthening content-area learning in a second language. Science laboratories are inviting and fully equipped to develop problem-solving and thinking skills through the exposure to hands-on activities. Furthermore, the Environmental School Project (PRAE) embraces awareness and make students reflect upon environmental issues and civic culture to act responsibly on environment preservation. Some of the issues addressed are solid waste management, the school orchard, preservation of natural resources and healthy lifestyle.
