Les sciences
Curriculum: We are using a curriculum developed by the same non-profit who created/wrote Eureka Math. It is called PhD Science. This hands-on approach to science involves more analysis and experiments than previous science curricula and is aligned to both the Louisiana Student Science Standards, a Framework for K–12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). We will begin with Module 1, which focuses on erosion. All tests, quizzes, and work is completed in French.

Lessons/StandardsANCHOR PHENOMENON: Elephants Sensing Distant Rainstorms Essential Question: How do elephants sense rainstorms from more than 100 miles away?
Studying how animals detect information helps us learn how they use their senses and respond. Investigating sound waves and vibrations helps us understand one way that animals and plants receive information. CONCEPT 1: Sensory Structures Focus Question: How do animals receive information about their environments? Through the use of Sense Stations and other activities, we discover that animals have sensory structures to help them receive a variety of information about their environments. CONCEPT 2: Sensing Waves Focus Question: How does information move across a distance? Studying waves helps us understand that they are regular patterns of motion that transfer energy across a distance. We discover that animals’ touch and sound receptors detect vibrations from waves. APPLICATION OF CONCEPTS: Sensory Models We design and carry out investigations to explore how information travels through ground vibrations. CONCEPT 3: Response Focus Question: How do animals respond to information about their environments? Observing animals’ behavior shows us how animals receive and process information to guide their actions. EXTENSION OF CONCEPTS: Responding to the Environment Applying our knowledge of animal sense and responses, we explore how plants respond to their environment. |
