Science

The Collingwood Science department provides an environment of active learning through hands-on designing, building and inquiry based activities. 

As students progress through the courses offered, they build on their critical thinking, analysis, synthesis and evaluation skills through active learning and laboratory work. Students gather data to dig into the big ideas in science, with the purpose of analyzing the data to make connections between variables.  Through this process, students also develop a broad understanding by making connections between what they learn and what they have covered in previous courses. The science department offers courses in the areas of biology, chemistry, earth science, environmental science and physics, offering AP level courses in all of the AP Science courses that are available.
