Scientists and The Scientific Method Science BUNDLE

With this in-depth science unit on scientists and the scientific method students learn the different areas of science, types of scientists and the processes they use, science tools, science safety, and planning and conducting experiments and investigations using the scientific method and other science processes.

This bundle includes both the printable science unit and the digital add on with narrated audio lessons and student activities on Google Slides. You will need a Google account or Google Classroom to access the digital version on Google Slides.

Your students will enjoy ten high engagement lessons in a detailed teaching Power Point, science journal and center activities for each lesson. Three hands-on, high interest science experiments give students lab experience and build a foundation for your future science units.

Students experiment with buoyancy, solubility, and chemical reactions. These fun experiments give students practice using the scientific method and can also serve as a scaffold to students designing and conducting their own investigations with the included planning pages.
