Introduction
Science allows us to answer interesting and important questions about the biological, physical and technological world. Science allows us to make sense of our world by exploring the unknown.  Science challenges us to investigate universal mysteries, make predictions and solve problems. Scientific knowledge is contestable and is revised, refined and extended as new evidence arises. Hands on Science provides opportunities for students to understand important concepts and processes.  Hands on Science introduces students to the practices used to develop scientific knowledge, the contribution of science to our culture and society, and its applications in our lives. Possessing such skills allows students to make informed decisions about local, national and global issues and to pursue science-related careers if they elect to.
