Exploring the Five Senses
Developed for third grade. There will be five stations set up and each student will travel around to use all of their senses. At each station there will be a way for them to hypothesize and record their results.
Biology In Elementary Schools is a Saint Michael's College student project. The teaching ideas on this page have been found, refined, and developed by students in a college-level course on the teaching of biology at the elementary level. Unless otherwise noted, the lesson plans have bee
Exploring the Material World Activity
What is it about a material that makes it hard, brittle, or a good electrical conductor? Powerful new tools like the Advanced Light Source help scientists probe the inner structure of materials. Bring the scientific research done at the the Advanced Light Source into your classroom using this complete teaching module.
