Science is an amazing way to connect with ELA and Math. Our students will be exposed to non-fiction texts on a variety of subjects and will be asked to perform mathmatical tasks, lab experiments, make predictions, and problem solve.
We will begin with The Scientific Method and Scientific tools.
We are using a new Science Series that will provide a more interactive approach to Science, and I know the students are anxious to get to work. We have already tested the Scientific Method in our "Apples to Apples" lab and our " Marshmallow Test" lab.
Check out the link to The Buffalo Science Museum for exciting programs that connect to what we are learning:
