Science
We will be exploring four major units of study that involve hands on lessons using the following Battlecreek Science Kits:
1. Light and Sound (physical science) 2. Earth and Me (earth science) 3. Changes in Motion (physical science) 4. Organisms Grow and Change (life science) A Unit Overview that includes home activities will come home at the beginning of each unit. Our class will not be switching with another teacher. I will be teaching both science and social studies to my class. Whenever possible, I try to connect our unit of study into other subject areas like reading, writing, and math. Throughout a unit, students will usually have a set of vocabulary word cards that will be practiced on an on-going basis. At the end of each unit, there will be a test. Students will bring home the vocabulary cards and typically a review sheet with the key concepts your child needs to know for the test.
