Science

Nutley Science programming focuses on providing instruction rooted in communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking as well as being firmly aligned to the NJ Student Learning Standards in Science.  We aim to provide our students opportunities that open their minds to think about how and why phenomena occur in the world around them.  Our programming encourages hands-on activities so that our students are learning by doing and pushing themselves to analyze and apply the principles they are learning to real-life systems.
