Science Scope

Grades K-12
What to teach and how.

[Science Scope]

$15  $12
DESIGN-A-STUDY ORDER FORM


 

 

 

The concepts and skills taught in grades K-12 science and health classes are arranged by topic and grade for an easy-to-use approach to teach students of all ages--including multi-levelly. Teaching tips include how to teach the scientific process and strategies for guiding children in thinking critically in order to get the most out of their explorations and experiences. By using this guide as a reference of what an how to teach, content can be covered with any resources that the student finds appealing. The teacher no longer needs to feel bound to one specific curriculum for fear of leaving educational gaps. A checklist allows convenient record keeping. Students in grades 6-12 can use it as a working outline to find information on their own.

Science Scope provides lists of skills, topics, and concepts that are part of most science curricula.

It can be used:

As a checklist.

This allows the student to use a wide variety of materials to learn about science instead of a program designed by only one company for use in kindergarten through high school.

Teachers and parents can also be sure a depth of understanding is achieved, rather than simply exposure to a topic. Older students can use this book to help them recognize what they should understand and retain (checking off items themselves) whether using a text book or several books and resources.

As an overview of the progression of a topic from simple concepts to the more complicated.

Even if a topic is not introduced until a student is eleven or twelve, for example, it may be helpful to introduce it using ideas from the easier level. This guide includes material used in high school courses for the college-bound student, which may prove too complex for some students. In that case, teachers and parents have the option of taking the student as far as he is able in any topic, while making certain that basic concepts are understood.

As a reference for age-level expectations.

Find out how much can be expected at any age. Keep children challenged, but not beyond their ability to meet that challenge. Topics are divided according to the following key:


Primary
Intermediate
Junior High
High School
Ages 4 - 8
Ages 9 - 11
Ages 12 - 14
Ages 15 - 18
Grades Pre K - 3
Grades 4 - 6
Grades 7 - 8
Grades 9 - 12

The age ranges are provided as a guide, not as a requirement for completing, or even introducing, topics at that age.


FAQ: Is Science Scope a complete science curriculum for K-12?

No. That would be impossible in one volume. Rather, this book allows the teacher to learn how to teach science effectively, become familiar with basic concepts, and use the thorough list of graded objectives to be covered in grades K-12 as a guide to lesson planning and for simplified record-keeping. Because the teacher now has a detailed overview of each area of science, the actual content used by the child to learn the subject can be chosen according to the student's learning style. Library books, hands-on kits, videos, games, software, and the Internet are all possible resources to complete required standards rather than extras "if time allows." $15  $12    DESIGN-A-STUDY ORDER FORM
