There are three Broad Areas of Learning that reflect Saskatchewan's Goals of Education. Science education contributes to student achievement of the Goals of Education through helping students achieve knowledge, skills and attitudes related to these Broad Areas of Learning.

Students who are engaged in constructing and applying science knowledge naturally build a positive disposition towards learning. Throughout their study of science, students bring their curiosity about the natural and constructed world, which provides the motivation to discover and explore their personal interests more deeply. By sharing their learning experiences with others, in a variety of contexts, students develop skills that support them as lifelong learners.

Students develop and strengthen their personal identity as they explore connections between their own understanding of the natural and constructed world and perspectives of others, including scientific and Indigenous perspectives. Students develop and strengthen their understanding of community as they explore ways in which science can inform individual and community decision making on issues related to the natural and constructed world. Students interact experientially with place-based local knowledge to deepen their connection to and relationship with nature.

As students explore connections between science, technology, society and the environment, they experience opportunities to contribute positively to the environmental, economic and social sustainability of local and global communities. Students reflect and act on their personal responsibility to understand and respect their place in the natural and constructed world, and make personal decisions that contribute to living in harmony with others and the natural world
