 It's a good idea to start off the semester with an in-depth safety lesson covering
safety symbols, rules, and practices. You can even do a few lab lessons with
your students to drive these concepts home. Then give students a series of
quizzes to see if they really learned the symbols, rules, and safety practices
discussed. Quizzes can be repeated periodically throughout the semester to
reinforce the importance of lab safety. Also hand out copies of the safety rules
for each student and parent or guardian to sign. This allows parents and
guardians to know exactly what is expected of their children in your class. |

Building
Blocks of Science® is a supplementary curriculum that meets the needs of every
classroom, grades K–5. Current units are Sky Watchers, Understanding My Body,
Understanding Cells and DNA, Human Bodyworks, Light, and Measure It. Because of
their modular design, Building Blocks of Science® units can be used as
stand-alone instruction to:
- Address subject matter not covered in a core curriculum
- Serve as additional activities for classes already using an inquiry-based
curriculum
- Provide hands-on experiences for classes that primarily use textbooks
Each unit contains a teacher's guide and materials for a class of 30. The
teacher's guide includes objectives and standards, material preparation steps,
time requirements, background information, vocabulary, procedures, assessments,
ideas for cross-curricular extensions, and blackline masters for student
procedures and data recording.
