Each section is numbered and can be taught in one day. Each section also contains scripted instructions for the teacher. Most sections contain workbook pages images and/and video clips. Short video clips (5 to 20 seconds) can be added to integrate current events into the curriculum. For instance the idea of science is to ask questions and get answers. Could there be life on Mars? To answer that we sent rockets and rovers to Mars to get pictures and samples of the surface. You can show video clips often free from NASA a government agency that shows rover taking samples. Also pictures can be added to enhance and describe scientific ideas experiments or events. = What order do I teach this in? = Each state has different standards that include subject matter to be taught at specific times. This makes teaching this science module more difficult. It might be a good idea to align your state standards to this curriculum and make some modifications. Please make a note of your state standards and it s alignment to this program in the talk section (discussion tab). =Physical Science= =Understand structure and properties of matter.= Texture and weight of objects =Chemical Physical Changes= Changes to shapes of objects Water can be liquid or sold. Same amount of water whether liquid or ice. =Force= Understand that a push or pull is needed to change the motion of an object activities where getting things to move or not to move and in changing the direction or speed of things that are already in motion Magnets can be used to make things move without touching them (homemade compass?) =Energy interactions transformations= Energy forms of heat light electricity magnetic chemical energies Sun warms land air water (arctic vs equator ...
