Georgia's quality core curriculum for grades K through 12 volume II [1994]

GEORGIA'S QUALITY CORE CURRICULUM FOR GRADES K THROUGH 12
VOLUMEll

SCIENCE K-8
The development of the Science K-8 section of the Ouality Core Curriculum (OCC) was accomplished through the cooperative efforts of classroom teachers, science supervisors and college faculty members. A 19~ember advisory committee considered responses sought from and provided by school systems to the 1986 and 1987 drafts of the OCC. A statewide survey was conducted to gathe:- ~_. ~~1~ ~l 'ata about science education.
At each grade level, kindergarten through sixth grade, the Science OCC has four major strands (topics): physical science, life science, earth science and environment, science, technology and society (ESTS). Each objective in these strands has one or more science process skills identified for use with the objective. A descriptor for each objective in these four strands is provided for objective clarification. ESTS strand objectives have a reference objective provided. , This refers to one or more related objectives in the other three strands at the same grade level. The ESTS objectives should be addressed in conjunction with their reference objectives and not in isolation.
Life science is emphasized in the seventh grade, and earth science is emphasized in the eighth grade. Each of these grades has an ESTS strand.
The Science K-8 OCC objectives are hands-on and activity-based. Whenever students are actively working with materials of any sort, there is the potential for unsafe practices. Safety in and out of the classroom is important; therefore, a safety objective has been included at each grade level.
The objectives for science process skills, safety and reference skills should be integrated into the instructional activities addressing objectives in the four major strands rather than in isolation.
Science develops thinking, problem-solving and lifelong learning skills. Science process skills are essential to the development of basic skills. Science instruction lends itself to integration with other subject areas and can generate student interest and motivation for all s~ject areas. Students should be actively engaged in the learning process via hands-on/minds-on science activities and experiences.

The Qoal of ~econdary scie~ce education in Georgia is to ~ovTde students with the concepts and skills necessary to
~e responsible, active caretaKers of their micro and macro environment. The secondary science curriculum is designed to be a blend of science concepts and science process sKills. Students must be actively involved in hands-on scientific investigation in the exploration of the world in which they 1 ive. They must be sensitive to the del icate balance of ~ature and inspired to pursue further understandinos. Students must develop critical thinKing sKills th.t ~nab.~ them to base decisions on valid scientific evidence. Students must be equipped with the problem-solving skills and scientific concepts to address the influence of science and technology on society. Ultimately, the secondary science curriculum is designed to provide students with the opportunity to acquire sufficient scientific knowledge and sKills to function effectively, and to contribute positively and to maKe decisions Knowledgeably.
Cu~riculum Design
Each course in the secondary science curriculum includes four central organizers, -- science Knowledge (K), science processes (P), the nature of science (N) and the relationship among science, technology and society (STS). Each course topic includes a goal statement, objective (s) and subobjective (5). The subobjectives del ineate the science concepts and science process sKills necessary to achieve the objective. All courses are designed as year-long courses. A semster course may be taught by addressing a minimum of fifty percent of the objectives.
Curriculum D~velopment
Thirty-four science educators from across G~oroia were involved i~ the writinQ of the secondarx scien~e curriculum. Tnis group included tw;nty-one classroom teachers, seven school SY5tem or RESA science supervisors, four postsecondary science educators and two college professors of science discipl ines. The curriculum was shared with all school sYstems to obtain feedbacK. The feedback was employed to revise" the draft curriculum.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION The vocational education section of the Quality Core Curriculum is organized by school levels (i.e., middle school, grades six through eight, and high school, grades nine through twelve). Programs offered at both levels will be listed in each part (e.g., the Program of Education and Career Exploration (PECE) appears in both levels even though the objectives have been expanded for high school students) Two columns addressing QBE are included in the vocational core curriculum. The QBE columns reflect those competencies ~o be developed by students (QBE-D) and those to be applied by students (QBE-A) Definitions: Developed Competencies - When the course provides for students to obtain initial competencies (learned for the first time). Applied Competencies - When competencies are already learned by the student and the course only provides for the application of the competencies in specific vocational settings.
