Super Science Connections
Super Science Connections (SSC) was written by K-3 teachers, for K-3 teachers. It integrates children's literature, writing, mathematics, art projects, social studies, and health instruction with hands-on science — observing, devising experiments, hypothesizing, and drawing conclusions. It will model ways in which your classroom can become a place where students learn and enjoy science in context. SSC contains 34 activities centered on a science concept or process skill connected to the AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy. Order No. 94-009
