Science Department

Welcome to the Science Department!

Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with our department‘s information. You will find that we are one of the largest departments at Sachem East, a dynamic group of individuals from various scientific backgrounds with one thing in common, we love to teach science!

In order to meet the academic needs of all our students, we offer core courses in Honors and Regents levels in the Living Environment and the Physical Setting: Earth Science, Chemistry and Physics. In addition, we offer a number of rigorous AP courses including Chemistry, Biology, Physics B, Physics C, and Environmental Science. We are also proud to offer other electives, including Genetics, Astronomy, Marine Biology, Ecology, Forensics, Natural Disasters, Evolution, Anatomy/Physiology. Our Research program is becoming one of the premier programs on Long Island and is available to all students. In past years we were proud to have Siemens' Westinghouse finalists and Intel semifinalists.

Our department members are very involved in the Sachem High School community both in science and other activities. Our staff includes varsity coaches, class advisors, and several club advisors. We pride ourselves in constantly updating our knowledge by attending conferences and courses related to our subject areas. We are fortunate to have at our disposal first class teaching accommodations and equipment. Rest assured that your children are our number one priority and teaching them science is our passion.
