The science lab is committed to increasing student interest and participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (S.T.E.M.). It provides students the opportunity to apply S.T.E.M. concepts in a meaningful way. The science lab is designed to:

• promote students' natural curiosity through science investigations

• promote student interest in the sciences and learning science

• promote introducing students to the Scientific Inquiry Process and Engineering Design Process

• promote developing scientific reasoning, teamwork, and communication skills
