Science Program at Vintage
Science instruction is an important part of the instructional program at Vintage. In addition to the science lessons in the classroom, Vintage students visit the school's Science Lab weekly. Teachers follow the state content standards in science at each grade level. Teachers collaborate to plan science lessons that include hands-on inquiry based experiences. The science lab allows teachers to spend more time on concept development and less time on the set-up of materials.
In fall of 2007 Vintage began implanting the FOSS Science Program. This program is the adopted program of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The program is unique from other programs because it focuses on investigation and experimentation rather that textbooks to deliver content. The program divides the school year into three units that focus on earth, life and physical science standards at each grade level. Take a look at the Vintage Magnet Science Lab Movie to get an idea of what we do.
