The mission of the EHMIS Science Department is to:
- Approach science as a reliable and tentative way of knowing and explaining the natural world.
- Weigh evidence and use scientific approaches to ask questions, investigate, and make informed decisions.
- Make and use observations to analyze relationships and patterns in order to explain phenomena, develop models, and make predictions.
- Evaluate systems, in order to connect how form determines function and how any change to one component affects the entire system.
- Explain how the natural and designed worlds are interrelated and the application of scientific knowledge and technology can have beneficial, detrimental, or unintended consequences.
