(See Program of Study Page 77)
The focus of the science department curriculum is to offer all students a reality-based experience which
will supply them with the information needed to make intelligent decisions regarding science in their
everyday lives. Each student will explore principles, concepts, and methodologies needed to enhance his/
her understanding of the inter-relationships of the scientific world through an activity approach and will
also explore how science, technology, and society influence one another.
