__ ** Amery K-12 Science Philosophy: ** __ ** The philosophy of the K-12 science department is to expose students to the biological and physical environment through a combination of hands-on and traditional process learning. While knowing science content is important, investigating and using process skills are vitally important in terms of understanding the true nature of science. Through problem solving, observation, analysis and synthesis, students experience how to become critical thinkers. We feel these skills are imperative in preparing students to become effective and contributing members of a worldwide society. **
