Secondary School Science Department
Our Mission
Covering a variety of topics that affect our everyday, our Sciences Department at North Mahaska gives students the opportunity to understand our contemporary world. Students will gain understanding in decision-making, independent thinking, and observation of their surroundings. Students can choose from biology, health issues, chemistry, physical science, physics and environmental science as they seek to interact with the cause and effect found in their environment.
