The spirit of science education described in this document is
based on the premise that science is an evolving, active process
within the creation of God. To do science, students will be
actively engaged in posing questions, designing experiments to
gain information related to their questions, and communicating
their ideas within the classroom “community of scientists.”
Experiencing science that is inquiry-driven enables students to
become immersed in scientific ways of thinking that are both
distinct and complimentary to other content areas. The process
of inquiry is central to science learning and builds a
foundation that will enable students to experience science as a
dynamic, human enterprise. It is in this spirit of inquiry that
students will experience the simplicity, the great diversity,
the interdependence of the physical and biotic aspects of
nature, and the enormity of God’s plan. Link to Science
