The Science Lab

​Effective teaching and learning of science involves seeing, handling, and manipulating real objects and materials. Our science lab allows students to engage in ​collaborative learning through ​hands-on experiments ​using high quality technology and instruments​.​ These investigations introduce our students to the process of scientific inquiry and provide deep understanding of the relationship between action and reaction.

St. Mary’s students get first-hand experience by using models and testing theories and concepts​, which they use to write lab reports.​ ​This real-time creation of knowledge allows for better retention of information and generates enthusiasm for complex mechanisms, of the world around us, which lays the groundwork for our future scientists and researchers in STEM fields.

Our students in grade K-5 access the lab once a week while our students in grades 6-8 attend the lab twice per week.
