CRIS Primary students are introduced to lively science units that are based on the Next Generation Science Standards. Science is taught with a hands-on method approach through discovery and exploration.
The Standards are structured with performance expectations in
1. Science and Engineering Practice- How students should learn
2. Disciplinary Core Idea- What students should learn
3. Crosscutting Concept- How students should think
