Explain Science K-12 Framework

The overarching goal of framework for k-12 science education is to ensure that by the end of 12 th grade,
all students have some appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science; possess
sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions.

The “Science Framework for Philippine Basic Education” contains resources that will help curriculum
developers, teachers, school administrators and policy makers to design and implement science curricula
that empower students to “learn to learn” and cause them to better understand and use science in their
everyday life.

The purpose of science education is for students to understand and interpret the natural systems of
the world around them. Science is driven by curiosity and reasoning and is much more than the
memorization of scientists, theories, and formulas. The education of science encourages problem solving
and collaboration.

This conceptual framework developed by the committee will identify and articulate the core ideas in
science around which standards should be developed by considering core ideas in the disciplines of
science (life sciences, physical sciences, earth sciences and applied sciences) 

A frame work for K-12 Science Education Is the first step in a process that can inform state-level
decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning
across the country.

Science teaches children necessary skills that they can use in other areas of their lives.
Kidsource.com reports, "Early experiences in science help children develop problem-solving
skills and motivate them toward a lifelong interest in the natural world."

The framework specifies core ideas in four disciplinary areas -- life sciences; physical sciences; earth
and space sciences; and engineering, technology and the applications of science. For example, among the
core ideas in the physical sciences are “matter and its interactions” and “energy.”
