Our science/social studies curriculum is based upon the current content area standards and District Curriculum Power Standards. We utilize many different tools to implement this curriculum and meet our standards goals. Technology, text books, workstations, and games, are just a few tools we use during this implementation.
Our district utilizes the Pearson/Scott Foresman Science program as our primary science resource. This cross-discipline program features hands-on experiments to help students learn science concepts and the scientific process at a 4th grade level. Throughout the year, we will be exploring exciting science units such as electricity, rocks and minerals, sound and light, and biomes/habitats! Check back for more details and snapshots of our science experiments!
Social Studies Alive is the primary social studies resource provided by NSSD #112. This experiential, hands-on program immerses students in real-world social studies concepts. Various other subjects are integrated into lessons to make them well-rounded and applicable to daily life. Throughout the year, we will be exploring communities, goods/services, citizenship, and more! Check back for more details and snapshots of our social studies explorations!
