I am excited about our new science program! It is called, Inspire Science, and is published by McGraw/Hill. The digital look is very similar to our math and reading programs, since they have the same publisher. The students will also have access to online resources for vocabulary practice, leveled readers, games, videos and interactives. We will be covering forces and energy, structures and functions of living things, wave patterns and transfer, Earth's land forms and features, history of the Earth's surface, and how natural events change our Earth. The curriculum will include a student journal called, Be a Scientist Notebook. This notebook includes a number of performance tasks and inquiry activities. I am still exploring all of the teaching tools. I will update you as to when quizzes/tests will be given soon.
