SCI-Tech Curriculum (Grades 6-8)
SCI-Tech is a supplemental curriculum that fits the needs of your lesson plans and allows you to integrate technology into the classroom with ease. The project-based lessons promote active learning and are designed to work equally well in computer labs or in classrooms with a single demonstration computer.
|
The projects promote active learning of science skills, including:
- Humans and the Environment
- Ecosystems and their Interaction
- Biological Sciences
- Chemistry
- Earth Sciences
- Physics
- Inquiry
|
| These science skills are integrated with Microsoft Office applications, the software that is already on your computers. Students learn to apply their knowledge through key technology tools:
- Word Processing
- Desktop Publishing
- Spreadsheets
- Databases
- Multimedia Presentations
- Internet Use
- Web Page Creation
|
And because the projects are designed to supplement your existing textbooks and lesson plans, you don't have start from scratch in order to integrate technology and to stimulate effective learning today.
SCI-Tech is designed in color-coded units, allowing you to choose the level that is appropriate for your students. And because students learn in diverse ways, the color-coded units allow you to use multiple levels in a single classroom or across the grade.
| Each Grade Pack includes:
- A Teacher's Guide, including a Technology Reference Guide
- Student Workbooks, each with its own Technology Reference Guide
- Electronic templates and samples for each lesson
