To prepare students for further education and for their adult lives, the Science for Citizens 11 curriculum engages students in the investigation of scientific questions and the development of plausible solutions. Science education develops and builds on students’ sense of wonder about the world around them and encourages a feeling of responsibility to sustain it. Science education fosters students’ desire to meet a challenge, take risks, and learn from mistakes. It prompts a curiosity about the changing world and helps students understand that the skills and knowledge they are gaining will be refined and expanded to reflect advances in scientific knowledge and technology.

Skill One
Evaluation Scheme:
This course will be taught as a project based course. What this means is that we will be completing 5 to 6 projects based on the various areas that we will be studying. The projects that the students will develop will vary depending on the student. They can be both traditional and contemporary. Examples of projects can be posters, presentations, story boards, story telling, research papers, models, webpages, power points, etc… or a combination of any of the above. Each
project will be the same. The more projects done the lower each percentage per project. If a project is not done to satisfaction, the student will have the opportunity to go over the project to improve their grade.
