Goals of Science Education Science Education aims to develop scientific literacy <span class="highlight">in</span> all students so those stu- dents may maintain and improve the quality of their lives. The Goals of Science Education are: &bull; Understand and apply the processes, ways of thinking and dispositions that humans have while investigating the Natural World. &bull; Understand and apply the knowledge we know today about the world around us to our curiosities and <span class="highlight">in</span> our daily lives. To achieve these goals, the Science Content Standards

While the General Learner Outcomes (GLO) are common to all academic discipline areas by identifying the skills and attitudes for all students to lead full and productive lives, the Science Content Standards gives targets for specific learner outcomes <span class="highlight">in</span> Science. These Standards define what all stu- dents should know and be able to do <span class="highlight">in</span> Science once they leave the K-12 <span class="highlight">system</span>. The table on pages 8 and 9, &ldquo;At&ndash;A&ndash;Glance,&rdquo; shows how the Content Standards are divided into two domains: (1) Domain I standards

Matter. Broadly referred as understanding the &ldquo;non-living&rdquo; part of our world, this strand focuses on one of the success stories <span class="highlight">in</span> science: the unification of the physical universe.
