Welcome to Nokomis Science 2009-2010!

My name is Ann Thonet.  I thoroughly enjoy teaching children and science.  The world is big and there's so much to observe, investigate and wonder about.  The best times to contact me is 8:00-8:30 and 11:00-11:30 a.m. (M-F).

Science at Nokomis
is based on the Lawrence Hall of Science program called Full Option Science System (F.O.S.S). Topics are taught through engaging and educational lessons. Children learn through hands-on, discovery based activities. Every grade level has its own set of topics to investigate during the year.  Students are expected to demonstrate their level of learning in order to fulfill Graduation Standards requirements.
 
The science schedule for CH, E1 and E2 students is 10 days in science and then 20 days in Phy Ed and Technology.  Currently (10/1/09) Mary, Maura and Molly's Kindergarten students are learning about tree parts.  Third graders are involved with a seed study (form and function).  Sixth graders are busy with the Models and Design unit and are building humdingers.  Can you imagine! 

The Nokomis SCIENCE FAIR is scheduled on Thursday, March 25, 2010.  Sixth graders will develop, prepare and present an experimental project.  Sixth grade students will develop their own experimental project.  E1, fourth and fifth graders are welcome to join us as well.

There's always something interesting going on in the Science Room.  Come by and check what's going on in science!
