Curated OER
What was Newton's Idea of Science?
Learners form logical foundations for analysis of observations. They improve analytic reading abilities through practice. Students investigate the foundations of scientific thought processes and how to apply them.

Lotic Environment
Students assemble a classroom river model as an example of a lotic system. They control and measure biotic and abiotic information for the in-class system and compare data with a lotic system in a natural environment.
Curated OER
Lotic Environment Lesson Plans
Students create and conduct experiments on a "classroom river habitat." They manipulate the biotic and abiotic factors so that they are able to compare an artificially prepared river model to a naturally occurring lotic ecosystem.

Letter Patterns
Second graders look at the number patterns we get from letters and numbers. They keep track of the numbers involved by drawing up a table of values. It's important here to look for the pattern and see how the number of tiles changes from...
