​
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.
