  2. Inquiry Based Science • Science and Technology Concepts for Middle School (STC/MS) is a research-based, science curriculum program developed by the National Science Resources Center(NSRC). NSRC is an organization of two prestigious scientific institutions-The National Academies and the Smithsonian Institution.

  3. STC Learning Cycle • FERA • F – Focus • E –Explore • R – Reflect • A – Apply

  4. Team Roles Two readers- The readers will read the directions out loud to the group, and they will make sure the directions are being followed.

  6. Literacy In Science • Frequent Articles to be read in class and at home Reading Prompts Writing Prompts Reading and writing are a big part of our science program. Students need to communicate effectively in order to share their observations and ideas.

  7. Homework • Homework will only be assigned at appropriate points in the Learning Process. • Homework will not be assigned as busy work. • Most assignments need to be completed in class since this is a hands on approach to learning. • Homework assignments are posted on my website and the homework hotline.
