Science Program

The science program in grades 9-12 at Mazapan School is designed to teach students how to use the scientific method in problem solving, to give them experience using basic laboratory techniques, and to give them an introduction to the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics.  Students are introduced to chemistry and physics in their study of physical science in the ninth grade, and then go on to study biology in the tenth grade, chemistry in the eleventh grade, and physics in the twelfth grade.  All classes meet five days a week (with a double period on one of those days for laboratory investigations) for a total of six periods per week.  A high school science fair is held every two years, and students are required to participate.  Therefore, all students participate in the science fair at least twice in their high school careers.

Mazapan School’s laboratory is equipped with fifteen stations where students work in pairs to carry out a variety of investigations in any of the three major subject areas.  Each station is equipped with gas, water, a compound light microscope, and all the equipment necessary to carry out a basic lab investigation.   In addition, the laboratory has an incubating oven, an autoclave, a water distillation unit, a video microscope, and a television set for viewing videos and DVDs.
