Science Resources
Science will be a bonus content area.
Here you will find resources to explore scientific concepts, as well as links to writing activities we will be doing that re science-related.
There are lots of questions to ask and answer. Hopefully we can help you answer yours. Just write your curiosities in the comment box and we will do our best to answer them, or at least to point you in the right direction.
We just completed our Hearing and Sound Unit before we went online. We were hoping to do the below final project with you, but now it is your choice. Please email us pictures and add a bit of a description if you'd like! We love hearing about your discoveries!
ANIMAL LIFE CYCLES
​
