Science Department
Science courses are designed to help students understand the natural world and the processes that govern it. With an emphasis on problem solving and the ability to make predictions about the behavior of matter in the living and nonliving world, students challenge themselves and take ownership of their own growth.
2024-2025 Teachers: Daya Rosario, Hansel Mojica, Joanna Gomez, Jose Reynoso, Kelsey Vinette, & Zach Finkelstein

Physical Setting: Chemistry
Through mastery grading techniques and reflection this course cover topics such as scientific methods, matter and atomic structure, energy, chemical bonds, molecular structure, chemical reactions, and quantitative relationships. The courses also emphasizes understanding major concepts rather than memorizing science facts, and they include process and laboratory skills.
Elective:
Forensics
Forensic science is the application of scientific methods to matters involving the public. One of its principle applications is the scientific analysis of physical evidence generated by criminal activity. During this course at BASE, diverse learners will learn & demonstrate basic techniques used to analyze forensic evidence.
