In order to succeed in today's society, an individual must have a foundation in scientific literacy. In order to accomplish this goal, Northwestern Lehigh School District will provide students with opportunities to develop logical thinking and inquiry skills; basic knowledge of scientific content in the areas of biological, physical, chemical, environmental, and earth/space science; skills practice in the processes of science; understanding of the applications of scientific knowledge in their personal lives; positive attitudes toward the pursuit of scientific knowledge; and, an awareness of self in relation to the world around them. The science program will be an integral component of the total curriculum, emphasizing knowledge and skills related to lifetime needs.
