Introduction This document demonstrates how Scott Foresman Science meets the Minnesota Science Academic Standards. Page references are to the Teacher’s Edition, which contains 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.
