- Students in grades 9 through 12 are able to enroll in numerous challenging and rewarding courses in the life and physical sciences. In addition to providing the four New York state Regents courses, the Jericho High School Science Department offers all of the advanced placement science subjects that are supervised by the College Board. In addition, many of our students are enrolled in the comprehensive and highly successful science research program. Each year, Jericho’s researchers compete in a breadth of local, state, national, and international competitions. College credit is available to those who enroll in advanced placement, Forensics, Anatomy & Physiology, Clinical Healthcare, Senior Film, and Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Technology courses.
Information for Middle School
-
Jericho’s intermediate level science program begins in the fifth grade classes at each elementary school and continues through grade 8 in the middle school. These students also study age-appropriate topics in the life, physical, and earth sciences that are supplemented by numerous laboratory experiences.
Many eighth graders begin their high school science requirement by accelerating into Regents earth science, while the others continue the intermediate sequence in science 8. Science 8 students are required to take the intermediate level science exam in June.
Information for Elementary School
-
Students in each of the primary grades explore topics in the life, physical and earth sciences that are supported by a wide assortment of challenging and enjoyable hands-on activities. These topics include: properties, measurement, animals, plants, weather, astronomy, habitats, ecology, electricity, magnetism, energy, work, and simple machines.
Students are required to take the elementary level science exam at the end of fourth grade.
