Overview

In Anne Arundel County Public Schools K-12 science courses, students will experience the following:

• Three-dimensional learning as outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards

• Hands on, inquiry-based explorations such as labs, small group projects and field trips

• Think like scientists by developing their critical thinking and scientific literacy skills  

As students engage in scientific inquiry, they learn that science is more than a set of facts; it is a way of perceiving, interpreting and understanding the world around them. When students do the work of scientists, they become highly engaged, curious and motivated to find answers and solve problems.
