Science

Scientific knowledge has grown so quickly in the last century that no single individual can be in command of all of the facts of even a single scientific discipline. At the same time, citizens must be able to make sense of science to be able to make informed decisions concerning technology, environmental concerns and medical questions, to name but a few. The goal of the sciences at Berkshire is to teach students how to think logically, to design experiments and interpret the results of those experiments, to develop research skills and to find patterns underlying collections of facts.
