Three years of science are required for high school graduation and four years are encouraged. The three years must include course work in life science and physical science. Science courses are designed to provide laboratory experiences in the methods of science and to develop an understanding of the biological and physical world and the influence of science on modern society. Through laboratory experience, skills in the use of scientific equipment are developed. Through investigation, data are collected to allow interpretation of natural phenomena. The goal of science education is to fully develop each student's scientific literacy.
