SCIENCE – GRADES K-12 MAJOR GOALS • To implement a guaranteed and viable district science curriculum that is aligned with learning expectations set forth in the Connecticut Core Science Curriculum Framework. • To help children continually build on and revise their knowledge and abilities, starting from their curiosity about what they see around them and their initial conceptions about how the world works. • To achieve scientific literacy preparing students to be confident and capable lifelong learners who are equipped with the skills needed to access, understand, evaluate and apply information and present coherent ideas about science. • To discover through experimentation the major conceptual understandings in science and apply these understandings to the environment or solving problems. • To foster each student’s understanding and use of technology, including the ability to assess the relevance and credibility of scientific information found in various print and electronic media. SCOPE OF SERVICES Elementary Schools: Science is required of all students in grades K-5. At the elementary level there is an emphasis on the ability to perform simple experiments and record accurate data. Each grade level consists of three or four units in Earth, Physical or Biological areas. All units are aligned with the CT State Science Frameworks, include the State Embedded Performance Tasks and prepare students for the Science CMT in grade 5. Middle School: Science is required of all students in grades 6-8. At the middle school level there is an emphasis on explaining natural phenomenon and the ability to ask good questions and apply experimental procedures to collect and analyze data. All units are aligned with the grade 6-8 CT State Science Frameworks, include the State Embedded Performance Tasks and prepare students for the Science CMT in grade 8. High School: Students are required to have three credits in science to graduate, including at least one credit in Biological Science and one credit in Physical Science, as well as demonstrate proficiency on the Science CAPT. The required grade 9 and 10 course sequence prepares students for the Science CAPT in grade 10 as the curriculum is aligned with the grade 9 and 10 CT State Science Frameworks. An increasing variety of science courses, electives, AP and ECE classes meet the various needs of a broad range of students. The integration of a STEM elective, Meteorology, is proposed for 2013-2014. For all levels, units and course standards will be re-examined after the release of the Next Generation Science Standards in January 2013, and alignment will take place to ensure students are prepared for the new science assessments in 2016. BUDGET NOTES The increase in the science budget is primarily due to the purchase of texts and lab supplies for two new courses at the high school, Consumer Chemistry and Meteorology. The science supplies budget at all three levels remains relatively constant, with the exception of a slight increase at the elementary level due to all day kindergarten and supplies for the Next Generation Science Standards. Funds have been reallocated to maintain current programs at all levels. The decrease in middle school personnel is due to a retirement and a reduction in the replacement salary. Page 48
