FOSS Grade Level Kit Inventory Lists
The FOSS kits were purchased in 2017 and DoDEA plans to use FOSS for approximately 10 years therefore, maintaining the integrity of the kits is imperative. These lists include all the items that should be in each drawer of the FOSS kits. When a teacher leaves, it is a good idea to inventory the kit to make sure all necessary items are there. If items are missing, please check with your supply tech so that they can order the needed items. Thank You!

The FOSS Next Generation resources provide the tools necessary to implement the College and Career Ready Standards for Science in kindergarten through 5th grade. With the wealth of resources comes the responsibility to be good stewards. It is imperative that teachers inventory their FOSS kits and ensure that materials are cleaned and returned to the proper drawer prior to departing for summer break. If materials are missing or broken, teachers should contact their school’s AO and/or Supply Tech to replace those items. With each teacher’s support, we will ensure that we are prepared for instruction at the start of each school year.

FOSS Alignment to DoDEA Science Standards

“Throughout the FOSS training, it became evident that FOSS was created to provide students with an engaging, meaningful experience through the use of hands-on learning during investigations. My students are currently experiencing just that as we are in the midst of the mealworm/darkling beetle investigation. Most of my students love and enjoy holding the mealworms. Just this week, we have had some darkling beetles emerge and students are truly engaged in learning all about their lifecycle and different stages. They have been able to identify and compare the structures and behaviors that allow these organisms to grow and survive. This hands-on experience has provided students with a way to be actively involved in their own learning.”
