PoincareQED Science Classes
At Poincare QED, nurturing curiosity is central to helping children develop essential skills in science, such as data collection, observation, classification, asking meaningful questions, and designing experiments to explore these inquiries. We believe that a strong scientific vocabulary enables students to articulate their observations and insights with clarity, and that hands-on experiences are crucial for deepening their understanding of key concepts. Whenever possible, science is integrated with other areas of the curriculum and always connected to the real world. We recognize that the skills, knowledge, and understanding gained through science education are vital in shaping students into scientifically literate and informed citizens, while also fostering their sense of wonder.
