Elementary Science Philosophy

The Howard County Elssential Science Curriculum reflects the intellectual rigor of scientific inquiry as well as the attitudes and social values conducive to preparing a scientific literate populace for the 21st Century. Effective student-centered science embodies an approach to learning that engages students physically and mentally in an inquiry-based laboratory program. The concepts of Space/Earth Science, Physical Science, and Life/Environmental Science are presented at each grade level in a developmentally appropriate format.
