MISSION STATEMENT for SCIENCE

The mission of Science education in Pittsford Central School District is to develop students who:

  •  View the world through the lens of a curious and scientifically literate mind.
  •  Critically evaluate scientific information related to their everyday lives.
  •  Engage in discussion on science-related issues.
  •  Acquire and apply scientific knowledge to unique situations.                                      

As a result of participating in the PCSD Science program, students will be able to independently …

  • generate open ended questions and seek answers.
  • design and carry out a systematic investigation to explain phenomena and/or answer a question.
  • construct, communicate and defend logical explanations about science related issues.
  • use scientific knowledge and understanding to inform ethical decisions.
