Science(2:55-3:25)
The goal of our science program provides experiences that heighten students’ awareness of the living world.
Insects, Soil and Plant ModuleChildren will come to know firsthand the life
sequences of a number of insects. Students observe structures and behaviors, discuss their findings, and record observations over time. Students see the life cycle of insects unfold and compare the stages of metamorphosis exhibited by each species.
Students will also grow a plant from seeds and observe it. Students relate these firsthand experiences to information they gather from reading about life cycles of other plants and animals.
