The Science Education program seeks to cultivate scientifically literate individuals who can think critically, solve problems, and make informed decisions in a world increasingly shaped by science and technology.  Students are encouraged to ask questions, conduct experiments, and engage in hands-on activities to explore scientific phenomena. This approach emphasizes the development of inquiry skills, such as making observations, forming hypotheses, and analyzing data.  Additionally, the program emphasizes ethical considerations in science, ensuring students are aware of the broader societal impacts of scientific advancements.  Ultimately, the goal is to empower students to become responsible and informed citizens who can navigate the complexities of the modern scientific landscape. 

The T.E.A.M.S Program

The Technology Enriched Academy for Mathematics and Science (T.E.A.M.S.) is an innovative program aimed at establishing a smaller learning community to study challenging curricula by exploring mathematics, science, and computer science topics using an integrated approach and thereby preparing students for college majors in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Each T.E.A.M.S. course for grades 9 and 10 earns five honors credits.

The Honors curriculum is challenging, rigorous, and with a strong emphasis on technology. In addition to regular coursework, students are encouraged to participate in mathematics, science, and computer science competitions and contests. The program operates under a unique class schedule, which allows for greater student-teacher contact and uses cooperative learning strategies and activities to actively engage and motivate students. This “school-within-a-school” design gives students a high-tech learning experience in a small, close- knit community with all the extracurricular, co-curricular, and athletic opportunities that Teaneck High School has to offer.

Principles of High Quality Science Instruction

Implementing the Next Generation Science Standards in our science classes, our students will learn to:
  • Make sense of natural and human-designed phenomena,
  • Develop questions to plan and carry out investigations, design solutions and/or obtain information,
  • Gather data and information to use in developing evidence,
  • Reason how the evidence supports an explanation for the causes of phenomena,
  • Engage in academic discourse,
  • Present evidence of learning,
  • Communicate reasoning through an individual three-dimensional performance, and
  • Apply science learning beyond the classroom to make sense of natural and/or human-designed phenomena.
