Science News

 

 

 

Below you will find my science news picks for the week.  They are taken from a dozen science news sites.

 I often include a picture of the scientist  who is doing the research on the article featured. 

 

The page is meant to be used once a week by a class Gr. 4 to 8 .

Take 5 to 10 minutes to make a quick check of the Science News.

Some of the articles can be printed out for a science class or to be used with a Guided Reading group.

Some students do short write-ups on the articles and I post them on the page.
