Science Department
This department is committed to providing students with a comprehensive and engaging education in the fields of Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. With a focus on hands-on experimentation, critical thinking, and technological integration, our department aims to cultivate a deep understanding and appreciation for the sciences among our students.
Department Overview:
The Science Department comprises three core subjects: Biology, Physics, and Chemistry, all of which are compulsory. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application, students explore the fundamental principles and concepts that govern the natural world.
Facilities:
To support practical experimentation and inquiry-based learning, we currently have six dedicated science laboratories. These facilities provide students with the necessary resources and tools to conduct experiments, analyze data, and draw meaningful conclusions in a hands-on environment. However, as the number of students continues to increase, there is a growing demand for additional laboratories to accommodate the expanding student population effectively. We recognize the importance of maintaining a low student-to-laboratory ratio to ensure that each student receives ample opportunities for hands-on learning and experimentation. Therefore, plans are underway to invest in the expansion of our laboratory facilities to meet the evolving needs of our student body and maintain our commitment to excellence in science education.
ICT Integration:
A majority of our science teachers have embraced ICT integration in teaching, leveraging technology to enhance the learning experience and facilitate deeper understanding of scientific concepts. This innovative approach to instruction has contributed to our department's remarkable performance and the academic success of our students.
Science and Engineering Fair:
The Science Department actively supports the Science and Engineering Fair, an event in which students showcase their scientific research projects and innovations. Friends School Kamusinga has gained recognition for its outstanding contributions to the fair, consistently earning awards and accolades up to national level.
Academic Success:
Over time, a significant majority of our students have secured admission to prestigious courses in the fields of Engineering and Medicine, owing to the strong foundation laid by the Science Department. Our rigorous curriculum, coupled with hands-on laboratory experiences and dedicated faculty support, prepares students for success in higher education and future careers in STEM-related fields.
