OVERVIEW
Science and STEM education at A.M.E. Zion Girls’ Senior High School (SHS) is a comprehensive program designed to provide students with a deep understanding of various scientific disciplines. Through a combination of theoretical study, practical experimentation, and critical analysis, students will develop a solid foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, and other branches of science. The course will cover a wide range of topics, including cell biology, genetics, chemical reactions, forces and motion, energy, and ecosystem dynamics. Students will engage in laboratory experiments, research projects, and discussions to explore these concepts in depth and apply them to real-world scenarios. In addition to acquiring knowledge in specific scientific areas, students will also develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, data analysis, and scientific inquiry. They will learn to formulate hypotheses, design experiments, collect and interpret data, and communicate their findings effectively.

Learning Science
Science education is an integral part of the high school curriculum, offering students a multitude of benefits that extend beyond the classroom. There are several compelling reasons students should learn science, ranging from the development of critical thinking skills to the cultivation of curiosity and wonder about the natural world. It empowers students to explore the wonders of the natural world, understand fundamental scientific principles, and prepares students for academic success, career opportunities in STEM fields, and active engagement in addressing pressing global challenges. Through science education, students acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to become informed, curious, and scientifically literate individuals who can contribute to the advancement of society and the well-being of the planet.

Delivery Method
The delivery method of science education is diverse, interactive, and engaging to promote active learning, critical thinking, and scientific literacy among students. By incorporating hands-on activities, inquiry-based learning, visual aids, technology integration, collaborative learning, field experiences, and differentiated instruction, educators can create dynamic and effective science learning environments that inspire curiosity, foster exploration, and cultivate a lifelong passion for science. These methods not only enhance students’ understanding of scientific concepts but also equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly complex and technology-driven world.
Throughout the course, by incorporating a combination of these delivery methods, science educators can create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that promotes student-centred learning, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts in the Science courseÂ
