SCIENCE An understanding of the natural world and of humanity’s place within it is essential. Therefore, the Landon Science Department aims to foster each student’s inquisitiveness and enthusiasm by building a base of scientific knowledge and skills through lectures, discussions and hands-on experiential learning. Landon offers a wide variety of courses so that each student is exposed to the fundamental branches of science at various levels. It is the responsibility of our department to prepare students to be informed global citizens, stewards of the environment, and competent users of technology. The Landon Science Department is committed to integrating the following into its courses at all levels: Scientific Knowledge: We present a structured sequence of scientific knowledge to our students,
complementing their knowledge in other academic disciplines. Scientific knowledge is organized concepts, theories, and unifying principles, which can lead to testable explanations and predictions about our environment. -26-
Scientific Method: We teach how the scientific method is used to form hypotheses about the world and how these hypotheses are tested through the collection and analysis of data.
