Science
The Science Department strives to engage students in the activities of scientific exploration, while challenging them to consider careers in science-related fields.
While following the curriculum established by the New York State Education Department, Notre Dame’s state-of-the-art laboratory facilities offer our students hands-on opportunities reaching beyond those that are required.
The Science Department offers courses in Molecular Biology and Women’s Health and Well Being for 9th graders, Chemistry for 10th graders, Physics for 11th graders, and electives in AP Psychology, Applied Chemistry, Advanced Physics, and AP Computer Science in the 12th Grade.
AP Psychology will explore and examine several major psychological concepts and principles. The knowledge gained from this course will allow students to critically evaluate research and identify key theories in the field of psychology and have a more in-depth understanding of human thought and behavior.
Notre Dame’s newly equipped physical science and biological science laboratories offer students many opportunities for the hands-on experience demanded in science education. The science faculty is committed to a vision of science education that will make science literacy a reality for all our students and emphasize an approach that is discovery based.
