After viewing our curriculum units, please take a few minutes to help us understand how the units, which were created by public school teachers, may be useful to others.
Introduction
Primary and elementary grades encourage the use of hands on activities in the classroom curriculum. Science yearns for the opportunity to relate its topics in a hands-on fashion. The constant encouragement of active, subject manipulation found in the elementary grades sets the stage for success in the study of science. Planning and structuring a full-bodied, hands-on curriculum unit for the study of photosynthesis in grades 1-3 will increase student and teacher understanding of the subject. I plan to implement many hands-on projects, experiments, units and mini-units involving such sub-topics as "Plants and What They Need", "Growing Seeds", and "The Ways of Plants."
