Science and Health. The science curriculum is a multiyear sequence that emphasizes hands-on experimentation and functional knowledge of scientific phenomena. Science must take students beyond the factual approach of reading, reciting, drilling, and testing science to actually “doing” and “feeling.” This process approach lets students experience the excitement of science so they can better understand facts and concepts. Kindergarten through Grade 3 students will focus on the basic science process skills of observing, inferring, measuring, communicating, classifying, and predicting. Grades 4 through 8 students will add the integrated science process skills of identifying variables, constructing tables or data, constructing graphs, describing relationships between variables, acquiring and processing data, constructing hypotheses, and designing investigations.
