We use the FOSS Science Modules. These modules are built on the constructivist philosophy - meaning that students learn from discovery after manipulating variables in authentic investigations. Students also write in their Science Notebooks just like real world scientists.
Yearly Modules:
Assessments used:- Student Module Worksheets
- Student Science Notebook - organization / completeness / effort
- Module Assessments
- Student Participation and Discussion Effort
