Dear Parents and Students: Welcome to Science Olympiad!!!!!
Science Olympiad is a class devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student’s interest in science and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education. This class is geared to increasing student achievement in science as well as giving students the opportunities to study a variety of topics in the field of science that students don’t normally learn in the regular classroom setting.
Science Olympiad
Objectives:
1. To bring science to life, to show how science works, to emphasize
problem solving aspects of science and the understanding of science
concepts.
2. To develop teamwork and cooperative learning strategies
among students.
3. To make science education more exciting so more students will enroll in
science courses and engage in other science activities.
4. To attract more students to professional and technical careers in
science, technology and science teaching.
This year in Science Olympiad we will be focusing on the following topics: forestry, experimental design, anatomy, food science, rocks and minerals, forensics, bio process lab, road scholar, reach for the stars,genetics, and various other topics. Students are encouraged to work like scientists through project based learning, cooperative learning, and in authentic learning situations. Due to the nature of instruction, it is very important that students follow directions and utilize safe laboratory practices.
It's a parents enthusiasm, support and involvement that inspires children to do their best; and a teacher's ability to teach what they need to learn. Together we can achieve
wonderful things. Please feel free to contact me during team time or via e-mail
([email protected]) with any concerns you may have.
Thank you for your commitment to your child's education and I look forward to seeing
you in the very near future. Have a wonderful year!
Sincerely,
Mrs.Paul
