Students develop self-awareness and self-management skills as they direct their own learning, plan and carry out investigations, and become independent learners who can apply science understanding and practices to make decisions. They build skills in social awareness and social management as they engage in collaborative investigations that require them to work cooperatively in teams, share resources and processes, make group decisions and show leadership. Empathy and respect are developed as students identify and learn about diverse world views and perspectives that have informed the development of science, and ways in which different individuals and groups may perceive scientific knowledge, advances or solutions.
