4. Mathematical and Qualitative Reasoning: A well-rounded education will ensure that the students are prepared to use basic mathematical reasoning and algebra to analyze and interpret real world problems and apply as required in real life situations. Students will demonstrate the ability to formulate an inquiry that is mathematical in nature, and then identify and follow an investigative process using empirical and/or quantitative reasoning to satisfy the inquiry.
5. Scientific Knowledge and Skills: Students will demonstrate the knowledge of fundamental scientific concepts and thS听scientific Method and apply the basic principles of scientific inquiry.
6. Computational, Informational, and Technological Skills: Technological literacy is an important component for student success in the outside world. Students will discover how information technology assists individuals and organizations to work more efficiently, and how information technology influences society.
7. Critical Analysis/Thinking/Problem Solving Skills: Students will engage in creative and/or innovative thinking, inquiring analysis, evaluation, synthesis of information, organizing concepts, and constructing solutions.
