Science Programs in K-12 Schools
Science programs in each school should prepare both technologically and environmentally literate students, through planned learning strategies and opportunities that provide students with knowledge and experience of accepted science practices, integrated with cross cutting science concepts and core disciplinary principles. Effective science programs provide a comprehensive, sequentially designed, K-12 Science Education curriculum designed to meet the minimum standards for College and Career Ready Students and that provides for continued growth in all content areas.

The following information should be of help to teachers, parents, and students. One of the greatest problems in science education centers on this lack of understanding by the general public.

Science teachers teach about science concepts in their classrooms, but rarely do they take time to help students understand what science is and what it is not. The New Hampshire Framework for Science Literacy contains information about what science is and it is intended that teachers will take time to repeatedly help students understand the nature of science. The business of science is to develop theories based on natural explanations about how the natural world works.

Students need to realize how the scientific processes are used to acquire new knowledge. The best way for them to do this is to spend time using scientific inquiry, experimentation, discussing data, drawing inferences based on data, and writing conclusions based on evidence. These processes should be practiced in every science course at every science level. It is also desirable that students be aware of past scientific works that formed the basis for the development of present theories, and the fact that scientific theories are built on the sequential work of many scientists over time.

Science Education programs in K-12 schools provide for the ongoing, authentic assessment of student learning outcomes through multiple formative and summative assessment instruments that align with the state and district.

Hello Teachers' Try This!!!
Use the following Newsela activity and virtual lab to complete an introductory experience regarding the environmental (day light length) influences on the rate of photosynthesis. We will begin by reading one article from Newsela Text Set (https://newsela.com/subject/other/2000541321/) together as a model: Then students will be instructed to read the article out loud to their lab group. Once complete the students will implement the new knowledge and vocabulary, clearing up any misconceptions and test their hypothesis through the online simulator. Data will be collected and analyzed. Finally Students will write a discussion regarding the investigation.
