A science resource that emphasizes 'doing' by providing opportunities for students to explore their curiosity

Explorons la science is a set of science resources that provides all the major components necessary for effective science teaching. This makes it easy for you to offer the hands-on experiences your students require to explore and investigate their world, and to develop key science process skills such as observing, ordering, predicting, interpreting, and communicating. It supports students as they learn to ask and answer effective questions, think creatively, make decisions, and solve problems more independently.

Each unit includes:

� Science cards�include colourful photographs and illustrations. The cards stimulate and support all levels of students as they work through the units.

� Read Aloud texts�stimulate learning and introduce and engage students with science concepts related to the unit.

� Classroom posters�Two classroom posters are included�Les étapes de la recherche and Les étapes de la conception. Each poster outlines the processes in clear, student-friendly language in order to help students use inquiry to address questions about the nature of things, and to seek answers to practical problems using the design process.
