Science+Information

===//The Full Option Science System (FOSS) springs from a philosophy of learning at the Lawrence Hallof Science that has guided the development of successful active-learning science curricula for more than 25 years. The best way way for students to appreciate the scientific enterprise, learn scientific concepts, and develop the ability to think well is to actively construct ideas through their own inquiries, investigations, and analyses. The Full OPtion Science System was created to engage students in these processes as they explore the natural world.//===

Air and Weather
The Air and Weather Module consists of four sequential investigations (Exploring Air, Observing Weather, Wind Explorations, Looking for Change), each designed to introduce concepts in earth science.

Solids and Liquids
The Solids and Liquids Module provides experiences that heighten students awarenessof the physical world. Matter with which we interact exists in three fundamental states: solid, liquid, and gas. In this module, first grade students have introductory experiences with two of these states of matter, solid and liquid.

New Plants
The New Plants Module provides experiences that heighten young students' awareness of the diversity of life in the plant kingdom. Students care for plants to learn what they need to grow and develop. They observe the structures of flowering plants and discover new ways to propogate new plantsfrom mature plants (from seeds, bulbs, roots, and stem cuttings).
