Our science curriculum
provides academic content in a multi-disciplinary and problem-solving
approach.The curriculum fosters an appreciation
for science and its technological applications and shows relevancy
to everyday life.
Science develops
habits of mind which enhance long-term employment prospects and are
essential for enabling students to become responsible,
informed decision makers and lifelong learners. A strong foundation in science will
allow full and thoughtful participation in building
our society and sustaining economic vitality in a global economy.
Science is so
pervasive in our society that a general education would be incomplete
without it. An understanding
of physical and natural events enriches the lives of people of all
ages.
Science integrates
the use of higher level thinking skills across disciplines and in
new situations.
Our
standards address the needs of the career and academic pathways
for our district's diverse student population.
