Students learn that science is a never ending search for truth. Truth is based on our understanding of facts. If our understanding changes or the known facts change, then our truth will also change. A greater understanding of scientific principles is required each year. Study skills must improve each year to keep up with greater expectations.
Students gain confidence that they can solve problems on their own.
Students learn that the world we live in is a changing one. Knowledge is expanding at an increasing rate and we can no longer be successful in life by memorizing a set of facts to be used the rest of our lives. Students gain confidence in their ability to research information and evaluate resources to find the most current information. Students understand the power of the Internet to provide access to information on any topic.
