U-STARS~PLUS Family Science Packets

Family Science Packets are organized around key science concepts aligned with the National Science Education Standards and are composed of two major sections: Teacher Notes and Family Science Activities. Each activity identifies processing skills critical for student advancement including formulating a hypothesis, making predictions, and collecting data. The 20 activities are divided between lower (K-1) and upper (2-3) primary grades, although a teacher's use of the materials may be applied based on students' needs and interests as appropriate. Materials for families are provided in English and Spanish on the accompanying CD.
