Heritage Science Students "Rock" Science Competitions

 
 
 
 

Student Research Statement for Science
 
"At Heritage, we strive to engage our students in quality Scientific Research through inquiry-based thinking. The expectation for students is that they will identify a question for which the conclusion is unknown to the student. All questions are expected to push the student beyond their comfort level in critical thinking. This may require a high level of lab and/or analysis skills that could be competitive among their peers and in science competitions, which includes the ISEF, and exceeds common knowledge. As teachers, we will teach aspects of quality scientific research as well as act as mentors to support students as they find answers to their questions."
 
 
 
 
The Heritage Science staff is dedicated to improving science instruction through the use of technology, hands-on experiences and inquiry-based learning. Our department of 10 teachers has a wide-range of backgrounds, each unique in their subject area. We currently support all of the science courses listed in the program of studies, and are proud to have developed the Geospatial Technology course for the county.
