Exploring Science through Weekly Science Labs—
Students will be using the Real Science-4-Kids Biology Level 1 Textbook and Laboratory Workbook to introduce essential terms and concepts of biology. “Hands on” discovery and critical thinking skills will be encouraged through experiments and observation. Each lesson will involve an activity designed to take the student through the process of making observations and interpreting data while reinforcing the vocabulary and concepts learned in the lesson. Minimal reading and review of scientific terms covered in class will be assigned each week.
Each of these classes will be continued in the spring.Students taking multiple writing classes only need one binder, but they will need at least two dividers per class.
