Sciences are at the core of STEM-centered learning and integral to student success in the 21st century. Scientific inquiry – forming hypotheses, making predictions, collecting data, experimenting and analyzing – is analogous to the creative process of learning at the LEAF Charter School. Each Thread of Inquiry will incorporate concrete scientific knowledge and real-world applications of scientific principles. Specific integrated curriculum materials will be drawn from ConnectEd’s Multidisciplinary Integrated Curriculum Units and other sources, particularly in the areas of engineering, biomedicine, and forensics.
