Science and Health Sample Clauses

Science and Health. The science curriculum is a multi-year sequence that will include instruction in applied sciences, earth and space sciences, physical sciences and life sciences that emphasize hands-on experimentation and functional knowledge of scientific phenomena. Science must take students beyond the factual approach or reading, reciting, drilling and testing science to actual fieldwork with instruments. This process approach allows students to experience the excitement of science so they can better understand facts and concepts, and is in line with the Idaho State Standards.

Science and Health. The science curriculum emphasizes hands-on experimentation, functional knowledge of scientific phenomena and a working knowledge of the scientific method. Science must take students beyond the factual approach (of reading, reciting, drilling, and testing science) to actual inquiry-based fieldwork with instruments. This process approach lets students experience the excitement of science as well as better understand facts and concepts. Students will focus on the basic science process skills of observing, inferring, measuring, communicating, classifying, and predicting. Students will add the integrated science process skills of identifying variables, data tables, constructing graphs, describing relationships between variables, acquiring and processing data, constructing hypotheses, and designing and implementing investigations. Social Studies and Community Service Social Studies will be taught in alignment with the Idaho State Standards. Students will be encouraged to discover and experience their responsibilities and rights as members of our democratic community. There will be a strong emphasis on community service as students apply their understanding of and their contributions to the world around them. Technology Technology will be used to support learning through individual and group discovery and seeking solutions to real-life challenges. It will not be used as the primary mode of delivering instruction. Palouse Prairie School will provide learners with technological skills aligned with the Idaho State Standards.

Science and Health. The science curriculum is a multi-year sequence that emphasizes hands-on experimentation and functional knowledge of scientific phenomena. Science must take students beyond the factual approach of reading, reciting, drilling, and testing science to actually “doing” and “feeling.” This process approach lets students experience the excitement of science so they can better understand facts and concepts. Curriculum will include integrating the scientific method, identifying variables, constructing tables or data, constructing graphs, describing relationships between variables, acquiring and processing data, constructing hypotheses, and designing investigations. Xxxxxxx Academy will xxxxxx a culture of collaborative inquiry among faculty and students. In addition to high school credit in each of the Science and Health areas, students will have the opportunity to enroll in college credit courses as outlined in Appendix CC. Courses available for dual credit include Concepts in Biology, General Biology I and II, Environmental Science, Anatomy and Physiology, and General Chemistry. Mathematics: Students will master computation processes and proceed into algebra and/or geometry as individual ability dictates. Exploring, conjecturing, and thinking concepts as well as manipulative experiences will engage students and enhance learning. Students will learn to view and use technology as a tool for reasoning and problem solving in purposeful ways. Xxxxxxx Academy’s emphasis on math will differ from traditional schools through its focus on specialized curriculum (Academy 101) and postsecondary ties early in the high school years (See Appendix N). Xxxxxxx Academy will xxxxxx a culture of collaborative inquiry among faculty and students. In addition to high school credit in Mathematics, students will have the opportunity to enroll in college credit courses as outlined in Appendix CC.

Science and Health. The Legacy Public Charter School science curriculum is a multi-year sequence, which emphasizes hands-on experimentation and functional knowledge of scientific phenomena. Science must take students beyond the factual approach of reading, reciting, drilling and testing science to actually “doing” and “feeling”. This process approach lets students experience the excitement of science so they can better understand facts and concepts. Kindergarten through third grade students will focus on the basic science process skills of observing, inferring, measuring, communicating, classifying and predicting. Fourth through eighth grade students will add the integrated science process skills of identifying variables, constructing tables of data, constructing graphs, describing relationships between variables, acquiring and processing data, constructing hypotheses and designing investigations. As students progress through the curriculum, they deepen and extend their understanding of the basic principles of sciences through a variety of scientific media and through the development of subject-appropriate vocabulary skills. Students will study earth, life and physical science. Math – Our math program was developed by the K-8 teachers at Liberty Public Charter School. The program is taught in a fast-paced, direct teaching method. We will have concept and manipulative experiences that engage students in exploring, conjecturing and thinking. Students will learn numbers and operations, including numeration, basic operations, properties of numbers and operations, and estimations. Students will also learn Algebra and Geometry. Additionally, students will learn measurements and perform data analysis and probability including data collection and representation, data set characteristics, and probability. Students will also learn problem-solving skills and tools including problem-solving strategies, reasoning and proof. Social Studies and Community Service - Kindergarten through 8th grade will follow the state standards and benchmarks. American history will be taught in Kindergarten through 8th grade. In fourth grade, the history of Idaho and the Pacific Northwest region will be taught. In the fifth grade, students will be introduced to world history with a four-year sequential study of Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Medieval Civilization. In addition, there will be an emphasis on community service in the seventh in eighth grades as students apply their understanding of and their...

Math – Kindergarten through eighth grade students will master the arithmetic processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals through Hall of Fame Drills. However, since mathematical learning is not a spectator sport, we will continue to have concept and manipulative experiences that engage students in exploring, conjecturing and thinking. Students will view and use math as a tool for reasoning and problem solving in purposeful ways. Social Studies and Community Service – Kindergarten through eighth grade will follow the state standards and benchmarks. In addition, there will be a strong emphasis on community service in the seventh and eighth grades as students apply their understanding of and their contributions to the world around them. We will seek out ways for the students to discover and experience responsibilities and rights as member s of our democratic community. Music - It is our belief that early musical training, including orchestra, can dramatically boost a child’s brainpower, building the kind of skills necessary to succeed in high level math and science. Foreign Language - The study of a foreign language is an integral and distinguishing aspect of the Character Curriculum. Research demonstrates that the study of a second language can boost English proficiency, improve memory and self-discipline and enhance verbal and problem-solving skills. The initial emphasis will be with the intermediate level learners (ages 9-12) with a gradual expansion in subsequent years, allowing students at the high school level to regulate their own language acquisition. Technology - Technology provides learners with skills that prepare them for future employment. The term “technology” includes learning tools such as co...
