Children will learn about the seasons and will engage in activities to help them deepen their understanding of the seasons.  

Dope the semiconductor to create a diode. Watch the electrons change position and energy.

This informational text introduces students to solar energy's role in warming the Earth's land and water and to the fact that dark-colored surfaces absorb more of the Sun's energy than do light-colored ones. Students also read about how the decline in Arctic sea ice is changing Earth's energy balance. This version is a full-color PDF that can be printed, cut and folded to form a book. Each book contains color photographs and illustrations. The text is written at a grade four through grade five reading level.

Showing appreciation for a person or organization with your students has never been easier with Google Slides.

Why do the lights turn on in a room as soon as you flip a switch? Flip the switch and electrons slowly creep along a wire. The light turns on when the signal reaches it.

Students will complete several activities that reinforce the concept that all simple machines transfer force.

This is a science lesson that helps students make predictions, complete expirements, and analyze data on what makes an object sink or float when placed in water. 

Simple experiments with puddles show evaporation happens as water molecules escape from the earth's surface. When they escape, they change from liquid to gas, or water vapor in a process called evaporation. The sun is the source of energy that causes this to occur.

After completing a K-W-L-H Chart on electricity, students will discuss and illustrate the four ways lightening can move.

Share sections and portions of the following video to help your child(ren) learn about how animals survive when they are young. 

This microcredential is the second in the Systems in Science microcredential stack. This stack, when completed, meets Requirement Area #2 of the Elementary Science Endorsement. Through this microcredential applicants demonstrate understanding of how to develop and use models to represent various systems and their interactions, including inputs, processes, and outputs, along with energy, matter and information flows within these systems.

This microcredential is the third in the Systems in Science microcredential stack. This stack, when completed, meets Requirement Area #2 of the Elementary Science Endorsement. Through this microcredential applicants demonstrate understanding of how to prepare and enact three-dimensional science instruction that is based on authentic phenomena and problems and supports the development of students’ conceptual science understanding and scientific literacy.

This microcredential is the fourth in the Systems in Science microcredential stack. This stack, when completed, meets Requirement Area #2 of the Elementary Science Endorsement. Through this microcredential applicants demonstrate an ability to promote effective and equitable science instruction both in personal practice and in the science education community.
