  • Make sure your child comes to school every day.  If they miss school, they are missing important instruction.
  • Review science terms daily and help your child practice measuring things.  They should know length, weight/mass, volume and temperature.
  • Expose your child to many science-related activities…see Blogroll for ideas.
  • Use the Q-TIPS strategy everytime.
