I’m looking for ideas on what you think the best science curriculum is for K8 or any part of it. What are your thoughts and why? My criteria:
- Curriculum that builds a solid foundation of scientific knowledge and process
- Curriculum that engages and inspires interest and curiosity and confidence
- Curriculum that we can afford without taking out a second mortgage. Free would be good.
BTW, in my search for interesting science education, I’ve run across a few resources that I thought that I would mention. These are lesser known but very useful resources.
1. The Science Songs – theres are great!
2. The FOSS Science resources
3. Annenberg Media has complete science materials for K5.
4. Operation Physics is a curriculum of 13 physics units for grades 4-9
5. Time4Learning has huge chunks of great interactive online science curriculum.
6. The science gizmos at explorelearning.com
