Science

The high school science course of study centers around an in-depth investigation into the specific disciplines of science through inquiry and application of  concepts.  Success in high school science depends on strong math, writing and reading comprehension skills.  Students build upon earlier science knowledge from their middle grades to prepare them for post- secondary opportunities and workforce opportunities.  In a world filled with the products of scientific inquiry, scientific literacy has become a necessity for everyone. Many of the problems and issues faced by society will require citizens who are scientifically literate to develop solutions.


In order to graduate from Orange County Schools, a student must earn a minimum of three credits in science. The three required sciences are Biology, a physical science, and an earth/environmental science.
