Science
Be sure to check out the science links.
Teaching science to elementary students is critical for establishing a foundation for further success in science. There is a need for some basic memorization of facts; however memorization of everything involving science eliminates the inner curiosity students have about the natural world.
Science should be fun and interesting. When students become actively involved in learning science, they retain more than just rote memorization of science facts.
Science explorations this year will include inquiry, critical thinking, questioning, science games, integration of technology, interactive science websites, and more.
