The science department of Cardinal O'Hara High School strives to "bring science to life" for our students. We are required by New York State to incorporate 1200 minutes of hands-on lab instruction into our Regents courses, but there are often classroom activities that demonstrate concepts being taught.
Field trips are invaluable learning tools that we provide for our students and the Science Club exists to keep the excitement alive. Our field trips in the past four years have been to the Niagara River Gorge, D'Youville College Gross Anatomy Lab, Town of Tonawanda Water treatment facility, the Maize, University at Buffalo, Toronto Science Centre, and the Buffalo Zoo sleepover.
Science Department Goals:
- 100% of students will pass the Regents exams in Living Environment and Earth Science.
- 100% of students will pass three years of science course work.
- Foster student excitement about science and its applications to our everyday lives.
- Support struggling students by offering after-school remediation.
