      🔬 Exploring Curiosity, Building Knowledge, and Inspiring Discovery

      At Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy, science is more than just a subject — it’s a journey into understanding the world around us. Our science instruction follows the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) and is designed to spark curiosity, deepen thinking, and help students make real-world connections.

       

      🌍 What Will Students Learn in Science?

      Our curriculum includes engaging lessons across:

      • Earth Science (weather, planets, resources)

      • Life Science (plants, animals, ecosystems)

      • Physical Science (matter, energy, forces)

      These topics are taught through hands-on investigations, real-world problems, and meaningful discussions that bring science to life.

      🔁 How Is Science Taught at TAG?

      We follow a 5E learning model:
      Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate
      This approach helps students:

      • Ask questions and investigate real-world phenomena

      • Collaborate with classmates to explore scientific ideas

      • Apply what they learn to solve problems and build understanding

      All lessons are phenomenon-based, which means students begin by observing something puzzling or interesting, then work like real scientists to figure it out.

      🎯 What Are Our Goals for Science Education?

      Aligned with Atlanta Public Schools' vision, our goal is to help students:

      • Feel the excitement and wonder of learning about the natural world

      • Use scientific thinking to make smart, informed decisions in life

      • Participate thoughtfully in conversations about science and technology

      • Prepare for future careers with confidence in STEM fields

      🧠 How Can Families Support at Home?

      • Encourage your child to ask “why” and “how” questions

      • Watch science shows or explore nature together

      • Visit science museums or explore online simulations

      • Talk about how science connects to everyday life

      At TAG Academy, we believe every student is a scientist in the making. Our job is to nurture that potential and provide learning experiences that empower students to question, discover, and lead with knowledge.
