2 年生の理科: 実践的な学習!

In this fall semester class learners will learn second grade cpalms science standards. Each class will include fun hands on activities to solidify learning! 

Each class will begin with 10-15 minutes of time discussing the standard of the day and learning about it.  During this time a worksheet may be included to help learners with remembering content.  After the initial discussion a science project or experiment will be completed.  Learners will be asked questions during the project or experiment to help deepen understanding and solidify learning.
