A. Focus. The focus
				  in high school is physical science and life science reflecting the key science
				  courses taken by most high school students by eleventh grade. Again, the
				  foundations covered during earlier grades related to the properties of matter,
				  forces and motion, and interactions of energy and matter are addressed using
				  more complex situations. In life science, the focus is on basic understandings
				  related to heredity, food chains, and more complex biological systems compared
				  to those explored during earlier grades. A key life science emphasis is on
				  personal and community health and safety. Science inquiry continues to be the
				  foundational mechanism used to integrate the science curriculum with a focus on
				  scientific investigations, use of data, and the role technology can play in
				  expanding human observations. Students with significant cognitive disabilities
				  access much of the same information and work on many skills through the
				  complexity levels.
B. Strands
1. Science as Inquiry. The students will do
				  science by engaging in partial and full inquiries that are within their
				  developmental capabilities.
