We are hopeful that students, teachers, parents, and our community continue to engage in meaningful explorations of the Science happening within us and in the world around us. Together #WeDoScienceWell. You can find us in all schools and on twitter @WSFCS_Science.

The science instructional team is committed to providing resources designed to assist science teachers K-12 in providing academically engaging, inquiry-based, and standards-based science curriculum for all students in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.

Continuing with our goals, we endeavor to increase the quality of the science educational experience for all students as we increase our number of students participating in and finding success in advanced science coursework with hopes they will pursue STEM careers. 

The North Carolina K-12 Science Standards are the curriculum articulated for students in grades K-12 science. The Standard Course of Study is designed to help students continually grow their science knowledge and abilities. The standards are intended to foster conceptual understanding, develop scientifically literate students, and provide opportunities to build knowledge and practices within each grade band or course. At each grade level, the K-12 Science Standards are further described as they relate to the Next Generation of Science Standards (eg. Matter and It's Interactions, Energy, Motion and Stability - Forces and Interactions, Wavs and Their Applications, From Molecules to Organisms - Structure and Processes, Ecosystems - Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics, Biological Evolution - Unity and Diversity, Earth's Place in the Universe, Earth's Systems, Earth and Human Activity ). All WS/FCS students should receive rigorous and engaging instruction based on the NC K-12 Science Standards. Referencing these documents will support science educators and parents in planning experiences that support student mastery of the science curriculum “to ensure that they graduate from high school" and they are "prepared for life in the 21st Century."
