Science

The Orange High Science department is in the process of implementing the newly adopted Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in all of our classes. These include individual course content standards, as well as science and engineering practices and standards that span all sciences. The new standards emphasize inquiry based learning where students ask and answer questions using data to support their findings. In order to meet these standards we strive to provide hands on laboratories and activities where students work with current technologies in a collaborative setting.
