This document outlines 10 aims and 5 objectives for a science curriculum. The aims are to provide opportunities for scientific study and creativity globally, provide a body of scientific knowledge and techniques, enable students to apply science, develop skills in analysis and synthesis of scientific information, foster collaboration and communication, develop investigative skills, apply information technology skills to science, raise awareness of implications of science and technology, develop appreciation of possibilities and limitations of science, and encourage understanding of relationships between scientific disciplines. The objectives are to demonstrate understanding of physics, apply physical principles, construct research questions, demonstrate cooperation and responsibility, and safely manipulate apparatus and perform experiments.
