Science and scientific literacy play a key role in educating citizens of today for the world of tomorrow. Critical to succeeding in this endeavour are the core competencies that provide students with the ability to think critically, solve problems, and make ethical decisions; to communicate their questions, express opinions, and challenge ideas in a scientifically literate way; and to exercise an awareness of their role as ecologically literate citizens, engaged and competent in meeting the responsibilities of caring for living things and the planet.
Features of the Science curriculum
With a focus on inquiry and conceptual learning, the Science curriculum provides students with opportunities to ask questions, consider a range of views, recognize their beliefs and opinions, work collaboratively, and ultimately make informed conclusions that lead to personally and socially responsible choices.
The story of science in the curriculum takes the students from observing their immediate environment to engaging in actions and decision making on a global scale as scientifically educated citizens.
First Peoples knowledge and perspectives and other traditional ecological knowledge are embedded throughout the Science curriculum.
