Student+Audience


 * STUDENT AUDIENCE: **
 * 1st Grade Class: **

The first grade class that will be completing this unit of study is a class of 21 students. Students come from good homes with parental involvement. The teacher has been teaching for 5 years and continues to teach her students daily about information literacy. They have little science background, due to the lack of time for science in kindergarten and first grade, however, this teacher realizes the importance of teaching science concepts. The school has roughly 700 students and is located in a upper-class neighborhood.


 * 3rd Grade Class: **

My 3rd grade class will be studying the moon during the next month and I have opted to use them as my guinea pigs. I have 25 students in my class and most are from upper-class homes. I have a wealth of parental involvement and students are ALWAYS excited to dive into Science. Students are taught information literacy daily and have a good knowledge base of the scientific method. The school has about 700 students and one of our focuses is preparing 3rd graders for the 4th grade Science portion of ISTEP.
