         <description><![CDATA[<div>Norway has a centralized curriculum comprising all subjects for Grades 1 to 13, Mathematics is a prominent subject in the Norwegian school curriculum, together with Norwegian and English; it is one of the core subjects covered on national examinations in the 10<sup>th</sup> grade.<br>Learning science must be closely related to practical experience in laboratories and nature. &gt;&gt;&gt;The curriculum emphasizes the holistic nature of the subject even though natural science is divided into the disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, and the geosciences. The curriculum also states that scientific laws and theories are models of a complex reality, and that these models are developed through observations, experiments, and ideas. &gt;&gt;In short, the science curriculum emphasizes the importance of understanding both the content and the nature of science.</div>]]></description>
