Primary
unifying concepts and processes include similarities and differences,
change and constancy, and systems. |
The
primary method for teaching and learning science is an inquiry approach.
Students also learn about scientific inquiry by modeling through the
videos and through presenting and comparing their work to others'
work. |
Content
includes properties of objects and materials (observable properties)
, position and motion of objects (balance and motion and air movements). |
Content
includes characteristics of plants and animals (comparing structures,
basic needs, and behaviors), life cycles of plants, and the needs
and health of humans as organisms (nutrition, movement, and wellness). |
Content
includes objects and changes in the sky (characteristics of air, weather
changes, moon sun and stars). |
Students
identify problems, propose solutions, implement solutions, evaluate
the results, and communicate to others. Every year students explore
and distinguish between natural and human made objects. As a curriculum
that incorporates many technologies, Galaxy provides for extensive
and appropriate use of technology. |
Students
explore types of resources, changes in environments and populations
and personal health in most units. As a program that is both technology
facilitated and requires students to use applications of many technologies
to be active scientists, science and technology in society is extensively
encountered. |
Through
all units students come to understand science as a human endeavor
as they are the scientists, they collaborate with others, and they
see science modeled on video. |
