Objectives of the Area
OG.CN.1.
Develop scientific thinking skills in order to achieve intellectual flexibility, inquiring
spirit and critical thinking; demonstrate curiosity to explore the environment that
surrounds them and value nature as a result of understanding the interactions
between living beings and the physical environment.
OG.CN.2.
Understand the point of view of science about the nature of living beings, their
diversity, interrelations and evolution; On Earth, its changes and its place in the
Universe, and on the physical and chemical processes that occur in matter.
OG.CN.3.
Integrate the concepts of biological, chemical, physical, geological and
astronomical sciences, to understand science, technology and society, linked to
the capacity to invent, innovate and provide solutions to the socio-environmental
crisis.
OG.CN.4.
Recognize and value the contributions of science to understand the basic aspects
of the structure and functioning of human body, in order to implement measures
of promotion, protection and prevention of integral health.
OG.CN.5.
Solve problems of science using the scientific method, from the identification of
problems, critical search for information, elaboration of conjectures, design of
