Science 9: Science affects virtually every aspect of our lives. To make informed career choices for the rest of your lives, you will need to understand basic scientific principles, the nature of science itself—when and how it is useful, the scientific process, and the limitations of science. You will also need to understand and form opinions about the balance of science and technology with political, social, economic, and ethical realities. All of these will be emphasized and incorporated into the Science Nine program.
