SCOPE AND SEQUENCE 4 - 6

Physical Science and Life Science Strands

Each grade level builds upon both a physical science and a life science strand that are designed to thoroughly prepare the student for higher grade activities. You can be satisfied that these hands-on experiences are NOT a collection of unrelated experiments, but rather build a solid science base. The “hands-on” process skills approach will help the student think creatively and critically, so that he or she will understand the significance of what science is. Additionally, most of the experiments can easily lend themselves to teaching more than one grade level at a time.

Life Science Strand	Grade Level	Physical Science Strand
Environments & Organisms	D (Grade 4)	Relativity
Living Communities	E (Grade 5)	Energy
