Welcome to Science in Hayward!
"In HUSD science education, all K-12 students will have equitable opportunity to learn through active engagement with Science and Engineering Practices. Guided by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), students will use their wonder, curiosity and motivation to develop critical thinking and other scientific habits of mind in preparation for college, career, and citizenship."
-Created by science educators in HUSD (Circa August 2014)
Learn more about the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and how they will be implemented in the Hayward Unified School District.
