Science Tools and Support
Science requires investigations to collect data to analyze to further the understanding of the phenomena. Central Rivers Media has tools to support this work. The science team is creating “How to Use” videos to support the use of these tools in the classroom. This is an ongoing project so check back often as the collection grows.
Science Learning Pathways
Learning pathways can take on a variety of forms. The goal is to foster student agency in their learning process while using technology as a tool to further learning.
| Grade Level | Learning Pathway |
|---|---|
| Kindergarten | What materials would we want to use to build the perfect playground so it is not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter? |
| 1st Grade | How do plants and animals meet their needs to survive? |
| 3rd Grade | Survival, Trade, and Migration – 8 week unit with 3 learning cycles
Survival: What would you need to survive? |
| 5th Grade | What is causing gravesite markers and structures to deteriorate over time, in Iowa? |
| Secondary | How does thermal energy transfer when combining varying temperatures of mediums? |
| High School | What impacts populations of animals in the natural ecosystems? |
