    By:
    Judy Ann Fanuncio
    Jay Xanderlyn Gallegos
    Aims

    • develop inquiring minds and curiosity about science and the natural
    world
    • acquire knowledge, conceptual understanding and skills to solve
    problems and make informed decisions in scientific and other contexts

    • develop skills of scientific inquiry to design and carry out scientific


    investigations and evaluate scientific evidence to draw conclusions

    • communicate scientific ideas, arguments and practical experiences


    accurately in a variety of ways
    • think analytically, critically and creatively to solve problems, judge
    arguments and make decisions in scientific and other contexts

    • appreciate the benefits and limitations of science and its application in


    technological developments

    • understand the international nature of science and the interdependence


    of science, technology and society, including the benefits, limitations
    and implications imposed by social, economic, political,
    environmental, cultural and ethical factors

    • demonstrate attitudes and develop values of honesty and respect for


    themselves, others, and their shared environment.
    Objectives
    • One world

    • This objective refers to enabling students to understand the


    interdependence between science and society.

    • Students should be aware of the global dimension of science, as


    a universal activity with consequences for our lives and subject to
    social, economic, political, environmental, cultural and ethical
    factors.
    • Communication in science

    • This objective refers to enabling students to develop their


    communication skills in science. Students should be able to
    understand scientific information, such as data, ideas, arguments and
    investigations, and communicate it using appropriate scientific
    language in a variety of communication modes and formats as
    appropriate.

    • Knowledge and understanding of science

    • This objective refers to enabling students to understand the main


    ideas and concepts of science and to apply them to solve problems in
    familiar and unfamiliar situations. Students are expected to develop
    critical and reflective thinking and judge the credibility of scientific
    information when this is presented to them.
    • Scientific inquiry

    • This objective refers to enabling students to develop scientific


    inquiry skills to design and carry out scientific investigations.

    • Processing data

    • This objective refers to enabling students to record, organize and


    process data. Students should be able to collect and transform
    data by numerical calculations into diagrammatic form. Students
    should be able to analyze and interpret data and explain
    appropriate conclusions.
    • Attitudes in science

    • This objective goes beyond science and refers to encouraging


    attitudes and dispositions that will contribute to students’
    development as caring and responsible individuals and members
    of society.

    • This objective is set in the context of the science class but will
    pervade other subjects and life outside school. It includes notions
    of safety and responsibility when working in science as well as
    respect for and collaboration with others and their shared
    environment.
