What's included in our phenomena-based science curriculum for elementary schools
61´«Ã½tv Science for grades °â€“5 is a phenomena-based science curriculum that is designed to give students engaging, realistic experiences that mirror how scientists and engineers actually work. To do this, the Lawrence Hall of Science and 61´«Ã½tv created an elementary program that includes compelling hands-on investigations, print resources, and digital modeling tools and simulations that work seamlessly together to enable students’ investigations and explorations.
