Science - Stanton

In high school science courses, YSD students work to demonstrate proficiency in science concepts and practices. Students engage in the following science practices as a way to build conceptual understanding of the content:

• asking questions and defining problems;
• developing and using models;
• planning and carrying out investigations;
• analyzing and interpreting data;
• using mathematics and computational thinking;
• constructing explanations and designing solutions;
• engaging in argument from evidence; and
• obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.

Students move from one course to the next progressing through content standards while continually revisiting and engaging in the same eight science practices.
