  • The Michigan Department of Education adopted new Science Standards in 2015 with the expectation that the standards will be fully implemented by the spring of 2020. 美高梅博彩 have begun the transition to align with the Michigan Science Standards (MSS). 

    The Michigan Science Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCEs) identify what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each grade level. The GLCEs align with the Michigan assessment system, Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP). Science is assessed in grades 4 and 7.

     

    The 美高梅博彩 use 科学的同伴 as its core elementary science learning resource. 科学的同伴 is an inquiry-based program that engages students in hands-on science and the process skills used by scientists. Students are asked to apply their reading, writing, and mathematics skills throughout the program as they inquire, observe, measure, 记录和解释数据, 得出结论, and make connections to what they already know and to the world beyond school.
     
    The units of study are aligned from grade to grade, with a Life Science and an Earth Science module at each grade level. Project Lead the Way - Launch resources are used to provide units of study in physical science as well as engineering.  Earth Science in 5th and 6th grades is addressed through a yearlong earth science course in 6th grade. In 5th grade, Science learning focuses on the Human Body in Motion, Environment, Force and Motion and Robotics and Animation.

    K-6 students learn about the natural environment through field trips, site visits, and lessons with local naturalists. This program enhances science learning experiences by connecting grade level content and environmental education. Please see the following link for more information.

     
    The District's core learning resource, 科学的同伴, addresses all K-4 GLCEs as identified in the Michigan Standards. The order provides a learning sequence to support student preparation for the M-STEP assessment in 4th grade. In some places in the K-4 curriculum the order corresponds to the State's GLCEs, in others it varies. In this way, the integrity of the adopted program is maintained, and all state outcomes are addressed by the time the students are tested in 4th grade. Teachers use multiple opportunities to assess student learning throughout each unit.


    Units of study in Science teach both content and essential science practices to build science literacy. The Science Practices include the following.

    • 运用科学的工具.g., magnifiers, scales, thermometers
    • 观察和描述
    • Making scientific drawings
    • Using field guides and other science reference materials
    • 在科学中使用模型
    • 按比例建造
    • Graphing and interpreting data obtained in investigations
    • Describing procedures in writing 
    • 设计一个公平的测试
    • 形成的结论
