3-5 Supplementary Science Resources for Home Learning
At this grade level students should be exposed to and working toward initiating investigations based on their observations and questions that arise from them. Journaling is also a very important part of investigating in Science and STEAM. Please encourage students to keep a journal each week of their investigations. Here is a site to help get started: K-5: Be a Field Scientist!
