“A scientist is a person who asks questions & tries different ways to answer them.”
What is a Scientist? By Barbara Lehn (1999)
Throughout the year students will gain skills to observe closely, ask questions, wonder, use tools, collect data, use logical thinking, consider alternative explanations, record findings, share information, and build on past experiences to develop new ideas about the world and science.
Critical thinking and reflection will be completed in peer, group, and/or class discussions, as well as in student science journals. Refer to your child’s science journal to know what’s going on in the classroom on a daily basis. Based on pre-assessments, the curriculum will be differentiated to meet the needs and background knowledge of each student.
Our classroom is an interactive classroom where students are directly involved in their learning and instruction. The learning is memorable, experiential, and will help impact all children with their future learning. Science is a subject that is around us day in and day out and in our classroom students will truly become immersed in their learning and take ownership of their accomplishments and understanding.
There will be several short term research and action research projects throughout the year that will be student selected and aligned with learning styles. Not all children learn by reading a book or listening to the teacher. Some students may learn through acting, so we mix it up and do a lot of crazy, fun, and challenging activities that stimulate the mind and stir up the interest!!! Our curriculum is hands-on and minds-on learning!!!
