Science Rubric for Use With "Amplify Science"
I'm a cluster/specials teacher with a cart, and my 2nd and 3rd grade students used this rubric to group/team and self-assess usually at the end of the period. I placed the rubric inside clear 10 x 8" frames (amazon sells a pack of 12!) to have on top of each table/group. It worked well for passing out and collecting quickly, and there also was no misplacement. Dry-erase markers could also be used to have students circle on the frames (or sheet-protectors) to self-assess. Please leave a comment/r

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
