| The science offerings at Spaulding High School provide students
with an opportunity to think about and to study the principles,
concepts, and great issues of science.
A sequence of courses meets the educational needs of the following
groups of students: 1) Students not planning to continue their education
beyond high school but who require an understanding of science as
it relates to the world around them, and 2) Students welcoming more
exposure to science techniques and content through problem solving
in a laboratory situation. The program for this type of student
satisfies the prerequisites for future training in such areas as
nursing, engineering, and liberal arts.
A common trend in all science courses is the provision of knowledge
and skills relating to the metric system and a working knowledge
of the scientific process as it relates to the course and to everyday
living. Students develop the competence in science necessary to
meet the needs of modern life, to recognize the contributions of
science to human welfare, and to become aware of career opportunities
in the field of science. Freshmen, with the exception of those students
who are enrolled in Aerospace 1 and 2, are required to select Integrated
Freshman Science.

completing any of the following courses.
