The Lower School Science curriculum offers children diverse opportunities to become involved with basic scientific concepts, process-orientated techniques, and challenging problems for investigation.

There are two major components of the curriculum: a physical science sequence, guiding students through an examination of the physical world, and a life science sequence which focuses on the biological world.

Lower School students explore the world in which they live and develop techniques for observing and testing nature. The relationship between Math and Science is an important feature of ISM's science program and is built into the curriculum for both subjects.
