The Clarion Science Units
The Clarion Science Units for Primary Grades have been designed to introduce young students to science concepts, science processes, and macro-concepts. A hands-on, constructivist approach is used to allow children to build their knowledge base and their skills as they explore science topics through play and planned investigations. The units include math and language connections to enhance the interdisciplinary connectedness of learning. Students are engaged in creative and critical thinking, problem finding and solving, process skill development, and communication opportunities. Each unit is designed to teach essential concepts such as quantity, direction, comparison, shapes, etc., as well as the overarching concepts of systems, patterns, change, and cause and effect.
