Much of our science program includes hands on experiments where the children learn through discovery. I find that the students are excited and engaged and can’t wait for science time. However, it is important that they listen to directions, and understand what we are doing during experiments, and why we are doing it. We will take notes that go along with science experiments. Your child is required to read science notes and study them. We will have tests a few times through out the year.
