Science
The science curriculum in Georgia is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills for proficiency in science. Relationships between science, our environment, and our everyday world are crucial to each student's scientific literacy.
Pickens County School District is committed to laying the foundation for every student to someday pursue a career that requires science or technology competencies. We recognize that many of our most complex problems demand both scientifically literate citizens and a large and diverse population of problem-solvers who will work in career fields that require these science and technology competencies.
Science at Pickens Junior High is based on life and physical sciences which leads students from the simple to the complex, preparing them for high school courses. Through interpretations of data they collect themselves, students construct their own understanding of the fundamental forces in the universe.
Our science courses include:
7th Grade Life Science
8th Grade Life Science
Physical Science for High School Credit
