Life Science, Grades 4 - 8: Investigate and Connect

Investigate and Connect: Life Science offers in-depth information for different content areas--the human body, plants, and the animal kingdom which includes vertebrates and invertebrates. The inquiry-based science experiments offer hands-on, minds-on investigations. These guided activities can easily be adapted to challenge talented students or simplified for students who lack scientific process skills. You will also find an annotated bibliography of children's literature for integrating trade books into an inquiry-based science curriculum. Your students will internalize many important science concepts when given opportunities to think critically.
