The Science Department helps ConVal students become independent learners. Students develop their 21st Century skills, especially problem solving, writing, collaboration, technology, and self-management, in a variety of ways. Over the course of a semester, students in ConVal science classes:

• design and carry out their own laboratory experiments;
• conduct field work;
• use technology to collect information and experimental data;
• communicate ideas visually and verbally;
• draw evidence-based conclusions;
• write to analyze and inform;
• develop action plans to address social or environmental issues;
• balance challenging workloads with other responsibilities.

In this way, students become adept in science content areas and prepared for life-long learning.

The leader of the Science Department is Carol Young.
