K-5 Science

Overview

The elementary science curriculum develops fundamental science concepts, skills and content learning through a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to learning. The program seeks to integrate math, science and technology, wherever possible. Emphasis is placed on the application of science concepts to our everyday world. The elementary science curriculum is divided into three areas: The Living Environment (complex systems and the interdependency of living things with each other and their environment), The Physical Setting (different forms of matter), and The Human Body and Health (body parts, keeping fit and healthy, and movement and control)
