Science in Personal and Social Perspectives emphasizes developing the ability to design a solution to a problem, to understand the
relationship between science and technology, and the ways people are involved in both. Students understand the impact of science and
technology on human activity and the environment. The strand affords students the unique opportunity to understand their place in the
world as living creatures, consumers, decision makers, problem solvers, managers and planners.

The fundamental goal of life sciences is to attempt to understand and explain the nature of life (NAEP 2000). Life Science expands students biological
understanding of life by focusing on the characteristics of living things, the diversity of life and how organisms change over time in terms of biological
adaptation and genetics. This includes the relationship of structures to their functions and life cycles, interrelationships of matter and energy in living
organisms, and the interactions of living organisms with their environment.
