THE BEST WAY TO START SCIENCE! Introduce what science IS, how we DO science, and make a high-level LAB REPORT that can be used as a template the rest of the year. This unit saves me every year!!!! The Unit Presentation guides daily discussions and topics, Unit Notes Packets (in 2 differentiated levels) provide graphic organizers and independent review prompts, and Assessments track mastery along the way. The included project is a GREAT way to move students from understanding to application: Desi
Engage students in determining what science Can and Cannot study through this colorful yet thorough PowerPoint.
