3-5 Supplementary Science Resources for Home Learning

At this grade level students should be exposed to and working toward initiating investigations based on their observations and questions that arise from them. Journaling is also a very important part of investigating in Science and STEAM. Please encourage students to keep a journal each week of their investigations.  Here is a site to help get started: K-5: Be a Field Scientist!

Supplementary Resources for Home Learning

 K-2

For K-2, we would suggest keeping the focus on observation, inquiry and curiosity. There are many simple and fun activities that encourage kids to observe, explore and ask questions. Encourage them to use all of their senses (safely) to make observations.  When they have made observations, encourage them to ask questions about their observations. Journaling is also a very important part of investigating in Science and STEAM. Please encourage students to keep a journal each week of their investigations.  Here is a site to help get started: K-5: Be a Field Scientist!

I will be posting weekly STEAM projects and resources that you and your family can do from your home or backyard.  I encourage you to take risks, engage in experiential learning and problem solving. You can also keep a journal to record your investigation, including the steps taken and outcome.  I will be uploading new resources and projects each week.
