For Parents and Teachers Whether you’re a parent looking for science activities for home, or a teacher looking for additional classroom resources, FOSSweb California has something for you. First of all, if you’re interested in current FOSS California news and general updates (such as FOSS appearances at conferences), please follow the FOSS CA News and Updates link on the home page. Along the left side of the home page, you’ll see grades K-5 listed. If you follow one of these links to a specific grade, you’ll see three modules listed. These are the three modules taught at that grade level.
Click on one of the module icons. Now you can explore that module.
Along the left side of the page are the resources for each module. First are the Activities. These are web-based activities that allow students to further explore some of the concepts taught in a given module, whether in the classroom or at home.
Next are the Photo Gallery, Books, and Websites. These are resources for students, meant to expand some of the concepts taught in each module. At the bottom left of the page is the For Parents and Teachers section. This section includes a Module Summary (including a downloadable summary PDF), Vocabulary (including downloadable PDFs for glossary terms and definitions, in English and Spanish, as well as terms and definitions listed on the site), the Home/School Connection (includes a downloadable PDF of activities for students to do at home, in English and Spanish), and Teacher Resources. The Teacher Resources section includes a Resource Database of books, videos, and websites; Module Teaching Notes, which provides up to date notes on the experiences of FOSS users; Important Module Updates, which lists any important updates for each module; Duplication Masters, as downloadable PDFs, for all the science notebook, teacher, and assessment masters (note that the science notebook and teacher masters are included in one file: Teacher Masters); Material Safety Data Sheets for all the items which require them; and Teacher Prep Videos, viewable online (coming 2007/2008 school year).
There’s a lot here, so be sure to leave plenty of time to explore, and feel free to contact us with any questions! |
