Curriculum
In planning a course of study in science, each student should consider
graduation requirements, educational and career goals, and individual
interests.
The Timberlane Science Department offers core courses in
physical and life sciences, and half-year electives in life and earth
sciences to support the needs, goals, and interests of Timberlane
students. Using the laboratory and fieldwork to support classroom
instruction and discussion each course develops an appreciation for the
nature of science and critical skills for scientific thought, conceptual
understanding, experimentation, data acquisition and analysis skills and
facility in communicating experimental results. Courses are offered at
College and Career Prep., Accelerated, and Advanced Placement levels to
accommodate individual differences in learning styles and goals.
Students contemplating Accelerated level courses should ensure that they
elect a mathematics program of commensurate rigor. Students and their
parents are encouraged to discuss their programs with faculty members
early in their careers. The Science Curriculum is written in adherence
with the New Hampshire Department of Education "K-12" Science Curriculum
Frameworks.
