Science

Science is best learned by doing science. At Gardner this is done by labs where the students follow the scientific method in their exploration of the world around them. Students will also be expected to learn about the engineering design process during their time at Gardner. They will be taught how to design a solution to a posed problem keeping in mind the constraints that will limit some of their options.

A typical week of science at Gardner starts on Monday with the students learning about the concepts and vocabulary they will need when they do the hands on activity. On Tuesday we spend the day either gathering data and observations for our lab or designing a solution to a problem. Wednesdays are the day we spend writing up our results and placing them in our lab notebooks.

Below you will find videos of the various hands on activities we have done this year during science.
