The framework embodies this sense of connectivity. Teachers should be free to design the types of science experience that best fit their students even to go beyond the textbook. Freedom from dogmatism is addressed. Assessment should reflect the instructional program in content and format with performance investigation being central. Science safety is a major concern.
Science needs to be relevant to students' daily life.
Forty percent of science instructional time should be devoted to hands-on activities. Science should be accessible to all students. Ed Code policies on the teaching of science are addressed. All rights reserved.
