Nancy Larson\u00ae Science 3<\/em> starts with the big picture and moves to the child\u2019s world. The lessons begin with our solar system and topics of the Sun, Earth, Moon, and planets. From there the lessons begin a discussion of the Periodic Table of the Elements and teach the children what all things in our universe are built around. This leads into how matter can be changed both physically and chemically. The states of matter are reintroduced and prepare the children for discussions about the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, water cycle, and meteorology, including violent weather such as tornadoes and hurricanes. Moving down from the atmosphere to the Earth\u2019s surface, lessons introduce the continents, oceans, layers of Earth, tectonic plates, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Continually moving to the smaller scale, the next step is talking about weathering and erosion, soil horizons, types of rocks, and how rocks and fossils are formed. Life science lessons introduce the children to characteristics, habitats, and life cycles of amphibians and reptiles with an opportunity to extend learning through independent research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included in a science kit are the Tool Kit, teacher\u2019s manuals, student materials, science word wall cards, and lesson charts, as well as access to website resources. To learn more about these components, read below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
