GED® Academy Science
The goal of the GED Academy science course is to give ABE, pre-GED, and GED® students the background and skills to understand scientific ideas and information in everyday life, in the workplace, and in the classroom. Students are exposed to topics in life science, physical science, and Earth and space science, to provide a broad background in scientific ideas. The focus of lessons is on skills students need to parse scientific ideas and information: comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
The GED Academy covers overarching concepts in science and its relevance to students’ lives. Lessons cover unifying concepts and processes; science as inquiry; science and technology; and science in social and personal perspectives.

Science Content
Unifying Concepts and Processes
The GED Academy science course includes lessons covering systems, order, and organization; evidence, models, and explanations; change, constancy, and measurement; and form and function across science disciplines. Students use analysis, application, evaluation, and synthesis to respond to ideas about scientific processes. These fundamental ideas introduce students to the way the world works in organized, comprehensible systems.
Science as Inquiry
Science as inquiry is about investigation and the scientific method. Students learn about the concepts inherent in scientific thought, including asking questions, planning and conducting investigations, using tools and techniques, thinking critically about relationships and explanations, constructing and analyzing explanations, and applying scientific knowledge.
Science and Technology
Technology is the aspect of science most obvious in our everyday lives and is relevant to adult learners of every level. Lessons in science and technology focus on students’ ability to make decisions in identifying and stating a problem, as well as applying scientific ideas to solve problems and recognizing the appropriateness of solutions.
Science in Social and Personal Perspectives
Science affects students’ everyday lives and decisions both on the individual and social level. GED Academy science lessons cover personal and community health issues, environmental issues, and issues of natural and human-induced hazards. The emphasis is on understanding fundamental concepts, and being able to apply, evaluate, and analyze ideas.
GED Science Test Familiarity and Practice
The GED Academy provides information about and strategies for approaching the GED science test, and throughout their study, students practice with GED-style questions. Students learn how to understand visual and textual science information, think through that information and its implications, and make thoughtful answer choices.
