Science

The Hobbs Municipal Schools has the following aspirations for all science classes:
    1. Understanding that science is more than knowing facts. The 
        science teachers demonstrate
        - a deep foundation of factual knowledge
        - an understanding of facts and ideas within a conceptual 
            framework
        - have an organization of knowledge in ways that allow for 
            retrieval and application
        - have knowledge and skills in the inquiry process
    2. Students will build new knowledge and understandings on 
        what they already know and believe.
    3. Learning is influenced by the social environment in which 
        learners interact with others.
    4. Effective learning requires that students take control of 
        their own learning.
    5. The ability to apply knowledge to new situations is affected 
        by the degree to which students learn with understanding.

In the learning process, students will be given extensive opportunity to:
    - apply safety practices
    - employ curiosity inquiry, critical thinking, and problem solving
    - connect to prior knowledge
    - collaborate with other students and display respect for 
        diversity
    - demonstrate the processes of research and design
    - experience a wide range of "hands-on" activities using state 
        of the art technology
    - be accountable and accept responsibility for their learning.
