Science Curriculum

In a world filled with the products of scientific inquiry, scientific literacy has become a necessity for everyone. Everyone needs to use scientific information to make choices that arise every day. Everyone needs to be able to engage intelligently in public discourse and debate about important issues that involve science and technology. Everyone deserves to share in the excitement and personal fulfillment that can come from understanding and learning about the natural world.

The DoDDS Science Standards are modeled after the National Science Education Standards, which are designed to enable the nation to achieve the goal that all students should achieve scientific literacy. The science standards outline what students should know, understand, and be able to do in the natural sciences over the course of grades K-12.

To find more information about the DoDDS Science Standards and to see a listing of all of the standards by grade level, visit DoDEA’s web site at DoDDS Science Standards.
