Summary/Abstract: Since the September 1st 2013 science teachers in secondary schools: liceum (comprehensive high school), and technikum (senior vocational high school) will introduce a new subject – the Science. This subject raises a lot of emotions in the pedagogical environment for several reasons: - Science Core Curriculum differs in its structure from the curricula of other subjects, - There is an obligation to implement only the curriculum learning outcomes not its content, - Science cannot be taken at the final external examination (matriculation), - There is a lack of interesting, innovative programs to teach this subject, - There is a continuous shortage of teaching tools for the implementation of Science subject. So should we be afraid of Science? No, we just have to understand it and make friends with it. In this paper you will find information about the recipients of this course, teachers qualified to teach Science, the number of hours devoted to teaching the subject as well as about the Science Core Curriculum and its possible interpretations and methodological guidance on its implementation and evaluation activities.
