2025-2026

Courses in the science curriculum at WCHS are designed to:

  • Develop an understanding of the science concepts that show the orderly occurrences in nature.
  • Give practice in solving challenging problems through the experimental design process and scientific argumentation.
  • Engage the student to think and reason in a way that will lead to logical solutions to problems.
  • Students are encouraged to discuss, analyze, predict, develop skills and apply scientific concepts to problems in everyday life.

The course offerings are varied enough to be relevant to the average citizen living in a scientific world as well as to prepare students with a solid background leading to a scientific career. The courses are activity-centered and built around laboratory experiences.
