Elementary Science
Science is Fun
Elementary Science involves all students in exploring their natural world. Students think critically, inquire fully, and communicate effectively.
Teachers engage students in various modalities using the 5-E lesson cycle:
Engage students with a discrepant event, guiding question, soliciting prior knowledge, etc.;
Explore with hands-on experiences through inquiry;
Explain through processing and communicating their thinking orally, in writing, and through reading;
Elaborate/Extend by applying the concept to relevant, real world experiences;
Evaluate by informal or formal, formative or summative questioning and assessments, or by student products such as the Interactive Notebooks.
To access the curriculum documents, click on the "Science Curriculum" tab in the upper right corner, or log onto AIMS and click on the "IPG-CRM" tab. You will find Curriculum Road Maps (CRMs) as well as Daily Lesson Plans organized by the new strands in the TEKS. Your AISD module kits will be shipped to your school 1-2 weeks prior to instruction.
