How can I use the Science content?
Classworks' science content can be used to supplement science instruction.
- Assign a specific assignment to a class as a pre-test prior to delivering instruction related to the concepts covered in the material.
- Use the results from the assignment to make instructional decisions.
- Incorporate graphic or video elements of the lesson into teacher led instruction.
Content Organization
The lessons are organized into three schools of science
- Earth science
- Life science
- Physical science
The complexity of the content is organized into three levels of difficulty; 3, 4, and 5. The different levels indicate the complexity of the text and concepts covered.
Science topics are consistent from level to level, though the skill level and complexity increases.
