Home Support:

Here are a few things that you can do to support science instruction at home:

  • Show children examples of science around them.
  • Provide opportunities for your children to make observations, ask questions, experiment and tinker at home.
  • Ensure that students have easy access to science related materials at home(books, magazines, games, toys, etc.).
  • Take field trips to science related destinations (zoo, planetarium, museum, aquarium, etc.).
  • Use various objects around the house and build something with your child.
  • As you prepare dinner, engage your child in conversations about the math and science you utilize in cooking.
  • Watch science related television shows or movies and have discussions about the science that you observe.
  • Engage students in problem solving at home.
