Physical Science Rationale July 25‚ 2011 Physical Science Rationale Science is learning to discover. It is about questioning how things are created and continue to exist in the world. Science teaches one to look for answers through research‚ observation‚ and experiments. Students at this level will learn how to formulate a hypothesis‚ and through keen experiences prove and or disprove a theory. This form of exploration appeals to the curiosity and imagination of a six to nine years
