NCS: level I science





The fourth and fifth graders have just finished their posters on the introductory meteorology unit. In two weeks these students will attend the 8th grade avalanche presentations, and get a preview of the greater depth that their exploration of the water cycle will encompass in 3-4 years when the science curriculum spirals around back to these concepts. The idea of a “spiral curriculum” grew out of the work of cognitive theorist Jerome Bruno. (Enclosed below are a few pictures of these delightful science posters.)
