All science units are taught using hands-on, inquiry activities that are designed to further the understanding of the content and foster the natural curiosity of elementary children.
Wood and Paper: In this module, students are introduced to a wide variety of woods and papers in a systematic way. They will observe the properties of these materials and discover what happens when they are subjected to a number of tests and interactions with other material.
Our Garden: In this module, students observe how living things change over time. They become gardeners, learning how to care for a community of living plants. Kindergarteners collaborate to identify the needs of plants and how best to provide those basic needs. Through this authentic context, learners develop a deeper respect for living things, compare and contrast living and nonliving things, and reflect on how careful observation and recording can show how things change over time.
