• recognize the usefulness and limitations of science and the interconnections between science, technology and society and to develop an attitude of responsible citizenship, including respect for the environment and commitment to the wise use of resources;
• become familiar with the language of science and be equipped with the skills to communicate ideas in science-related contexts;
• appreciate and understand the evolutionary nature of scientific knowledge;
• attain personal growth through studying science; and

The curriculum emphasizes a balanced approach towards the acquisition of scientific knowledge, attitudes and skills through carefully organized activities.
