Science • The Elementary Science curriculum is designed to tap the natural curiosity of our students in order to promote the development of a life long appreciation for science in their daily lives. The curriculum supports the three major disciplines of science – Earth, Life, and Physical Sciences – while reinforcing math and reading skills. Through the inquiry based approach, students learn the process of science, develop critical thinking skills, and work cooperatively in groups to solve problems. • All units of study in the elementary science curriculum emphasize the processes of science including measuring, communicating, classifying, ordering, recognizing relationships, hypothesizing, using models, interpreting data, identifying and controlling variables, and conducting experiments. • Grades 1, 2 and 3 • 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade science consists of units of Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science and Space and Technology.
