  | Carolina Biological Supply Company | |  | |  |  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.
