Goal 3: Natural Sciences
To improve students' understanding of natural science principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry,
i.e., the ways in which scientists investigate natural science phenomena. As a basis for lifelong learning,
students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been
developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific inquiry and new knowledge will bring
changes in some of the ways scientists view the world. By studying the problems that engage today's
scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their lives and to understand the
value of a scientific perspective. Students should be encouraged to study both the biological and physical
sciences.
Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories.
Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at least two of
the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater depth,
students' laboratory experience in the collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and an
appreciation of its sources of error and uncertainty.
Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing.
Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence presented,
and make informed judgments about science-related topics and policies.
