A Correlation of to the Montana Standards for Science Grades K-6 M/S-107

Introduction This document demonstrates how Scott Foresman Science meets the Montana Standards for Science. Correlation page references are to the Teacher s Edition. Lessons in the Teacher s Edition contain facsimile Student Edition and ancillary pages. Pearson Scott Foresman is proud to introduce our all new Scott Foresman Science, Kindergarten through Grade Six. Extensive research and analysis is the foundation for Scott Foresman Science and guides the instructional design. Scaffolded Inquiry Scott Foresman Science is built on three levels of inquiry: Directed Inquiry, Guided Inquiry, and Full Inquiry. All three levels engage students in activities that build a strong science foundation and help them develop a full understanding of the inquiry process. How to Read Science Powerful connections between reading skills and science process skills in every chapter advance science literacy for all students. Differentiated Instruction Leveled Readers for every Student Edition chapter teach the same science concepts, vocabulary, and reading skills at each student s reading level. Time-Saving Strategies Time-saving strategies are built right into the Teacher s Edition that will save the teacher hours of time in lesson preparation. Quick Teaching Plans cover the standards even when class time is short. Everything needed for each activity comes in its own chapter bag. With the Activity Placemat and Tray, activity setup takes only 30 seconds. Premade Bilingual Bulletin Board Kits save time by creating attractive bulletin boards quickly and easily. Technology Scott Foresman Science brings teaching and learning together in one convenient spot the computer. From sfsuccessnet.com to educational CDs and DVDs, this program provides a variety of interactive tools to help support, extend, and enrich classroom instruction. The Online Teacher s Edition provides access to the same printed content, so the teacher can plan lessons with the customizable Lesson Planner from home or school computers. The Online Student Edition allows students, teachers, and parents to access the content of the textbook from computers at school or at home.

to the Kindergarten Grade Four Content Standard 1 Students design, conduct, evaluate and communicate scientific investigations. Students must understand the process of science how information is gathered, evaluated and communicated to others. This process mirrors everyday life. The knowledge and skills related to scientific inquiry enable students to understand how science works and are powerful ways for students to build their understanding of the scientific facts, principles, concepts and applications that are described in the other science standards. In addition, scientific inquiry stimulates student interest, motivation and creativity. 1. be given a testable question, plan, design, and safely conduct a scientific investigation with identified variables.

Students gain a better understanding of the world around them if they study a variety of organisms, microscopic as well as macroscopic. Through the study of similarities and differences of organisms, students learn the importance of classification and the diversity of living organisms. The understanding of diversity helps students understand biological evolution and life s natural processes (cycles, growth and reproduction). Structure, function, body organization, growth and development, health and disease are important aspects to the study of life. The study of living systems provides students important information about how humans critically impact Earth s biomes. 1. identify that plants and animals have structures and systems, which serve different functions.

Content Standard 4 Students demonstrate knowledge of the composition, structures, processes and interactions of Earth s systems and other objects in space. By studying Earth, its composition, history and the processes that shape it, students gain a better understanding of the planet on which they live. The world s atmosphere and water are vital to life. Both subtle and wholesale changes in either can have a profound effect on human existence. Knowledge of the Sun and the rest of the Universe help students make predictions about Earth and informed decisions about the future of space exploration. 1. describe and give examples of Earth s changing features.
