Welcome to the Science Lab

Ms. Sanderford

The scientific process challenges us to critically analyze the universe and beyond. Gillispie’s science lab is a fully interactive, hands-on learning environment.

Children are instructed in the scientific method to increase their ability to observe, predict, measure, record and interpret data.

Four main systems (Human Body, Physical Science, Marine Science, Physics) progressively deepen a child’s understanding of the topic from grade to grade. The science curriculum takes advantage of the extraordinary area in which we live. The beach, UCSD, and Balboa Park are some sites used as resources.
