The Parsippany-Troy Hills Science Department is dedicated to providing our students with a rigorous and thorough science curriculum that establishes the essential foundational skills needed for success in any discipline of science. Our K-12 science curricula are built on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS), also known as Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) which continually spirals and builds upon knowledge in Life, Physical, and Earth and Space Sciences. Our science classrooms include collaboration and hands-on experiences deeply rooted in inquiry and discovery to pique student interest and provide opportunities for problem-solving, designing solutions, and using evidence to back up scientific claims. Within our science courses, our goal is to focus on developing critical thinking skills by providing students with an opportunity to engage in and develop a deeper understanding of the scientific phenomena in the natural world around them.
