Introduction Section
Use state adopted instructional materials;
Have direct, first hand experiences using investigations and experiments to learn the content in the California Science Standards; and
Use the science processes to broaden students’ procedural and thinking skills to investigate the world, solve problems, and make decisions.
The District’s vision for Science instruction is to:

What does it take for students to succeed in science?
• Teachers– Content support– Time to plan– Identification and
organization of resources– Classroom assessment of
student knowledge– Time to reflect– Collaboration and
articulation of skills and knowledge
• Students– Develop academic
language– Do science (Immersion
Units, activities, investigations, and experiments)
– Practice sequencing events, making testable questions, inferences, cause & effect statements; interpreting graphs, and using reference sheets
