THE GOALS OF THE SCIENCE PROGRAM
Achievement of both excellence and equity underlies the three major goals of the secondary science program.
The three goals of the science program are as follows:
1. to relate science to technology, society, and the environment
2. to develop the skills, strategies, and habits of mind required for scientific inquiry
3. to understand the basic concepts of science
Every course in the secondary science program focuses on these three goals. The goals are reflected within each strand of every course in the three overall expectations, which in turn are developed in corresponding sets of related specific expectations. The same three goals also underlie assessment of student achievement in science.
