Science
Franklin Township Public School's K-12 Science Education program provides students with inquiry-based skills and an understanding of the scientific process, which will enable them to be successful in their exploration and investigation of our ever-changing technological world. Students will develop higher - level critical thinking and problem - solving skills that will allow them to explore their scientific environment in a multi-sensory hands-on and minds-on manner.
Students will be able to recognize the contributions, as well as the diverse, cultural and social backgrounds of scientists. Students will be exposed to and use scientific tools and apparatus, scientific nomenclature and SI (metric) measurement. Ultimately, the district students will learn and understand the underlying safety principles during their practice of Science.
