Goals and Objectives
The science curriculum at Centaurus is designed to facilitate the transformation of all students into life-long problem solvers. Through experimentation, inquiry, critical thinking, and teamwork, all students are provided with the experiences necessary to become responsible decision-makers within our increasingly technological world.
The individual courses offered in the study of science are designed so that all students are provided opportunities to: ยท
- Gather and analyze data in an effective, accurate and safe manner
- Gain the knowledge base needed to be scientifically literate
- Develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills
- Develop work habits and skills needed to be a useful member of a problem-solving team
