SCIENCE

In addition to the content standards specific for each science course, allscience classes will address the following standards:

1. Science as Inquiry: Demonstrate the skills necessary to engage inscientific inquiry

2. Habits of Mind: Apply the values, attitudes, and commitmentscharacteristic of an inquiring mind. Use concepts and themes such as asystem, change, scale, and model to unify the disciplines and help themunderstand and explain the natural world.

3. Safety: Demonstrate the importance of safety by applying safety skills inall activities.

4. Science and Technology In Society: Use the problem-solving process toaddress current issues involving human adaptation in the environment.

Students who are planning to attend college should be aware that somecourses that give you science credit for high school graduation are notaccepted by certain colleges for their science requirements. If you are unsurewhether the course you select is acceptable, you should check with yourcounselor or with the college.

The following shows three possible sequences for students with varying goals.
