= = ESCI 215 Resource Package By: Lindsay, Megan, Autumn, and Heidi  Rational: This collection of resources has been gathered to supplement elementary science units. As with all subjects, it is important to engage students and involve them in their learning. If we simply transfer information, authentic learning has not taken place. As the students participate in these hands on activities, they construct their knowledge based on past experiences and present observations. We have selected these activities to aid in the following units: Grade 1 //Seasons//, Grade 2 Water and Air, Grade 3 //Soil//, and Grade 4 //Rocks//. Each one is designed to follow the 5 Es, and Explanation information is included. Remember that, especially with science, children already have a natural curiosity and drive to explore. If we do not foster this, then we will slowly distinguish it.
