The Harwood Union Science Department is currently transitioning our curriculum and instruction to an integrated curriculum, where all students will take Integrated Science 1 and Integrated Science 2. This will allow for students to experience a broader range of science disciplines and have more choice in the following years. The learning expectations throughout the courses include but are not limited to Integrative Thinking, Inquiry, Problem Solving, and Writing. Courses are designed around NGSS practices and anchoring phenomena where students make observations and propose ideas in order to understand natural occurrences.
