Science Court Explorations
Turn your students into scientists with these all-in-one science kits!

GRADES 2 - 4

The Science Court Explorations series combines hands-on manipulatives and a multimedia CD-ROM in one complete package. Each title in the series introduces and reinforces the scientific method and fundamental science concepts to young elementary children. In each Explorations package, a video clip on the CD-ROM presents a funny, animated case built around a scientific question. The case ends up in Science Court, where lawyers and expert witnesses seek the answer to the question. Before the answer is revealed, the video stops and students are invited to guess the answer and choose a hypothesis based on what they have thus far observed. Students then go to the Science Court Lab and use hands-on manipulatives, which are included, to test their hypotheses. Returning to the CD-ROM, students see the explanation in the video clip and then predict the verdict in the Science Court trial. A follow-up hands-on exploration is included where students can further practice the process of observing, making a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and then revising the hypothesis. And they have great fun along the way!
