Today’s society is constantly and rapidly changing. One of the primary reasons is the influence of expanding knowledge of science and technology. The role of science education in today’s society is twofold. First, our educational program must provide the reservoir of scientists and technicians that our society requires and, second, it must produce a scientifically literate public, which is able to make rational decisions on issues of a scientific nature. The science curriculum attempts to meet the objectives of science education by providing courses of varying difficulty in each subject area. Each student will, through the courses offered, be able to meet the requirements of his own educational objectives and, at the same time, prepare for meaningful participation in our society.
Students will understand how and why the field of science is divided into different categories of study.
Students will understand how to collect, evaluate and present scientific data properly.
Students will develop logical thinking skills
Students will develop application skills by connecting scientific knowledge learned in the classroom to new situations.
Students will demonstrate their understanding of scientific principles, attitudes and methods through laboratory experiment.
Students will gain background knowledge in science useful for a career in science and for making meaningful decisions in our society.
