Greenhill School - Cavalcade Yearbook (Addison, TX)

Students at Greenhill are involved in science courses at virtually every level, from Kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Through these courses they study patterns, natural laws, environmental interactions, and their own growth and development. Hands on, laboratory experiences, coupled with field trips, help integrate the world of science into the expanding World of each student. Integration with their other courses at school is also emphasized. Science teachers pay particular attention to the development of reading and writing skills. Mathematics are necessary at many levels, and the science and math teachers coordinate their goals. The most fundamental skills in science-skeptical observa- tion and analysis-are carefully nurtured throughout the curriculum. Finally, the joy of learning about the world we live in is a key element in the teaching of science at Greenhill. QQ-q' ' Hmm . . . maybe I should have worn a polo.
