\/><\/p>\n<h2>Our Philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>Throughout their years at Tremper High School, students progress through an investigation of life, physical, earth, and environmental sciences, and the connections between science and technology, and science and everyday life.\u00a0\u00a0 Science is primarily concerned with understanding how the natural world works.\u00a0 It is fueled by our curiosity and asking of questions.\u00a0 Our willingness to investigate leads to evidence-based answers, explanations, recognition of broad cross-cutting concepts, and new questions to investigate.\u00a0\u00a0 Evidence and concept development come from observations, hands-on investigations, and research of current scientific knowledge.\u00a0 We communicate in Science by talking and listening, and by reading and writing \u2013 text and drawings \u2013 in order to demonstrate prior knowledge and the development of new ideas.\u00a0 Students are encouraged to work collaboratively and independently, and to evaluate each others\u2019 claims, question assumptions, and weigh the validity of conclusions.\u00a0 The ability to think like a scientist about our world will prepare our students to be responsible citizens and critical thinkers ready to take on the challenges of our changing planet.<\/p>\n<h2><a
