Overview
Billerica Public Schools supports students to develop a wonder of science and acquire the necessary knowledge and problem solving skills to make sense of phenomena and all the other elements of a complex world. At all grade levels, we focus on the Standards for Science and Engineering Practice:
- Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering).
- Developing and using models.
- Planning and carrying out investigations.
- Analyzing and interpreting data.
- Using mathematics and computational thinking.
- Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering).
- Engaging in an argument from evidence.
- Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.
