SCIENCE<br />
(See Career Pathway Page 78)<br />
The focus of the science department curriculum is to offer all students a reality-based experience which<br />
will supply them with the information needed to make intelligent decisions regarding science in their<br />
everyday lives. Each student will explore principles, concepts, and methodologies needed to enhance his/<br />
her understanding of the inter-relationships of the scientific world through an activity approach and will<br />
also explore how science, technology, and society influence one another.<br />
