Science
Our Philosophy
Los Fresnos CISD believes that every student can gain science proficiency through instruction that is rigorous, project based, and technologically driven. Students will engage in hands on activities to explore the natural world and understand that relationships exist among the different science disciplines.
Students will:
- know and understand how science has built a vast body of changing and increasing knowledge described by physical, mathematical, and conceptual models.
- know that science may not answer all questions.
- know that investigations are used to learn about the natural world through questioning, observing, and drawing conclusions.
- know and understand that certain types of questions can be answered by investigations, and that conclusions and models built from these investigations change as new observations are made.
