Science Department
At Archbishop Williams High School, the Science Department is divided into three major disciplines: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The purpose is to provide each student with quality inquiry-based courses in science. Each course will introduce the student to a wide selection of topics that will help the student understand the world of science. This will be accomplished by laboratory activities, student-oriented labs, and by independent research.
Objectives
- To enable the student to comprehend and apply inquiry methods and technology to solve problems.
- To allow the student to apply theoretical concepts in a practical situation through hands-on laboratory experience.
- To prepare the student for college-level science courses.
- To develop the critical thinking skills involved in scientific concepts and problem solving.
Graduation Requirements
Students must complete 3 years of lab science courses to graduate. Successful completion of Biology 1 and Chemistry 1 is required for graduation. All science courses are considered lab science with the exception of Sceintific Research, Computer Science Principles, and AP Computer Science A.
