Reasons why science as a subject is taught in school.

1. Search for truth and understanding
   It means organizing together knowledge about our physical and biological environment.  Science is man’s attempt to correctly represent knowledge.  Truth can only be found through the knowledge of God.  God ,therefore, is the source of ultimate truth.
2. Development of mental processes (right thinking)
   Scientific methods are tools used by scientists to observe, investigate, experiment, and answer questions about the things around us.  All of these are means of exploring and discovering many aspects of life.
3. Enhancement Creativity
   Understanding of Scientific methods can lead to students’ imagination and creative thinking.  A student’s creativity in terms of questions, possible explanations, and testing of ideas is central to science.
4. Personal Relevance
   Science includes a substantial amount of information, skills, and attitudes that can be transferred and used in student’s every day life. Hopefully, it will enable them to understand, use, and create new applications for the  elements of technology.
5. Development of positive attitudes
   Science teaching in a Christian context endeavors to address human feelings, values, and decision-making skills and direct them along positive lines.  Willingness to explore human emotions, respect for the feelings and rights of others and to treat human being as a whole is one of the expected goals of teaching science in a Christian school.
