Department Chair: Janet Wolfe
In an increasingly complex global community, the Conestoga Science Department recognizes the need to produce active, informed citizens who understand scientific issues that impact our everyday existence and to cultivate a strong foundation in scientific literacy, critical thinking and curiosity. Communities of learners who can access and analyze scientific and technological information will be able to make informed decisions about our future.
Science courses are activity-based, lab-oriented classes that prepare students for pre-college testing (e.g. Keystone Biology test, Advanced Placement tests), further study in college, and citizenship in a technical society. The goal of the Science Department is to make sure that all students are exposed to the major disciplines of science, in addition to exploring specialty areas with a wide variety of science electives. In order to fulfill graduation requirements, students must successfully complete three credits of science, including 1 credit in Biology.
