This Science Starters contains materials for use with Investigate the Possibilities Elementary General Science - Water & Weather From the Flood to Forecasts and Investigate the Possibilities Elementary Astronomy - The Universe From Comets to Constellations. Materials are organized by each book in the following sections:
- Quizzes
- Semester Tests
- Answer Keys
Multi-level Quiz & Test Options: The Science Starters curriculum allows multi-age students between grades 3 to 6 to be taught at the same time. For your convenience we have included two different levels of quizzes and semester tests so that you can choose the ones most appropriate for your studentβs age and educational abilities. Suggested levels include:
- Level 1 - Grades 3 & 4
- Level 2 - Grades 5 & 6
Workflow: Students will read two pages in their book and then complete one page of the Student Journal. Extra Projects are also assigned. Quizzes are given at regular intervals.
Lesson Scheduling: Space is given for assignment dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. While each quarter has 45 days of assignments, they do not have to be given M-F. Some students may prefer to do more assignments each day, allowing for breaks on other days. Each week listed has five days but due to vacations the school work week may not be M-F. Please adapt the days to your school schedule. As the student completes each assignment, he/she should put an βXβ in the box.
