This Science Interest Inventory Freebie is designed for upper elementary grades. I love using interest inventories to find out my students' attitudes toward science and their preferred methods of instruction.
While it doesn't affect WHAT is taught, it does affect HOW I teach it. If no one finds landforms interesting, I know that I will have to find a more engaging way to teach that concept. If everyone enjoys working in groups, I can use cooperative learning more often.
What a great idea to help plan for the new school year. Your "Science Interest Inventory" was the featured "Free Lesson of the Day" at The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs.
Wishing you the best,
Vicky

After teaching 5th grade for four years, I am now the teacher of twenty-two awesome 4th graders! I love differentiating instruction using stations and small groups.
