PSD Science is an intellectual, social, and cultural endeavor to explain the observable phenomenon of the universe around us.

The goals of Science Education in Poudre School District are:

• Every student will be enabled to use appropriate scientific processes and principles in making personal decisions.
• To promote the skills and understanding necessary for individuals to engage intelligently in public discourse and debate about matters of scientific and technological concern.
• Every student will experience the richness and excitement of observing and understanding the natural world.

These goals define a scientifically literate individual.

The Essential Standards for science content define what a scientifically literate person should know, understand, and be able to do after 13 years of school science.
