The word science originates from the Latin, scire, to know. Our science program is designed to help students know their world and their relationship to it. Through exploration and hands-on experience, Pinecroft students learn to acquire knowledge and develop understanding.
Our science curriculum introduces the scientific method in kindergarten and encourages students to ask questions, form hypotheses, make observations and develop conclusions. While engaging in purposeful investigation, students are taught the safe use of materials, and, through trial and error, they become familiar with effective experimentation and collection of evidence.
