Elemental Science has developed a balanced approach to learning, activities, and reading for information well suited to this age group. Year A covers a lot of material – likely more than can be mastered in our 2023/2024 school year. Individual Units follow a similar format: reading, vocabulary acquisition, a student notebook, and a hand-on activity. Lapbooking may be used to organize material, as well. 

Berea will be focusing on the units teaching: Plants, Major Biomes, the Solar System, and Light. The four units will grow students’ knowledge and depth of each subject. These units also give the students opportunities to explore the natural world. 

The curriculum also suggests additional reading, usually available to borrow from the local library. Ms. Krisi may read parts of these in class, as well. 

In this class, Berea is asking parents for a copy fee. The units utilize five resource books, ranging in price from $6.95 – $39.95. The number of pages the students read is within legal copyright use, from two pages in one book to five pages in another. The copy fee provides full color, quality copies of the resource pages, saving parents significant cost. A three ring binder specifically for Science is required to organize resource materials. It is included in the copy fee charge. 

Science! is the Thursday morning session of Level Up, paired with The Show Me State: Missouri.
