Real Science 4 Kids Teacher Pages offer support for parents as they guide students through the textbook and student pages. There are four sections for each chapter: teacher lesson plans; study notebook answer keys; teacher experiment guide pages (not all chapters have experiments); and the teacher quiz answer key.
The one-page lesson plans make this program very easy to use. It includes the learning objectives, a checklist of items needed for experiments and activities, a list of specific textbook, student, and teacher pages you will use for each chapter, and a 4-day lesson plan with clear teacher instructions on what to do each day and how long each lesson should take to complete. Assessment tools are also listed for both formative and summative assessments.
A copy of the student pages is provided with sample answers for student notebook questions, including vocabulary, short responses, and reflections.
When there is an experiment, the teacher pages provide detailed support to facilitate the RATATAZ learning method (read, ask questions, test and tinker, answer questions, talk about it, and dazzle by sharing results). This format helps you assist your students as they learn to think with a scientific mind. Because outcomes vary, answers for experiments are not included.
The teacher quiz answer key provides answers with explanations for the quizzes along with blank space for notes.
The Teacher Pages provide an organized framework for each chapter. This added structure helps guide your student through the program, reinforcing key science concepts. ~ Gina
