Grades K-4, Grades 5-8, Grades 9-12
Goals
The goal of the North Dakota Science Standards is that all students will:
•experience the richness and excitement of knowing about and understanding the natural world;
•be able to inquire about and investigate the natural and technological world;
• develop an understanding of and ability to use processes of science;
•communicate intelligently on topics of scientific and technological concern;
•use creativity, problem-solving skills, and decision-making strategies to make personal and professional decisions;
•increase their economic productivity through the use of knowledge, understanding, and skills of the scientifically literate person in their careers;
•develop an appreciation and respect for the natural world.
