All for Science™Investigating Producers in EcosystemsDaily Activities

Daily Activities

Scientists use information from first-hand observations, experiments, and explanations and observations by other scientists. This information is contained in expository texts, graphs and tables, maps, photographs, video and other forms of media. The K-3 STEM Foundations project enables students to use resources such as these to extend and deepen their understanding in ways similar to those used by practicing scientists.
