Students will locate all of their Science4Us assignments under the To Do tab on the student homepage.
Assignments are organized into Assignment Cards. As students complete their assigned activities, they will receive a gold star.
Any new Assignment Cards will appear with a bell icon in the corner.
When Assignment Cards have been completed by a student, they will be moved to the Completed tab.
The Assignment Cards are presented in sequential order to ensure that students are working in an order that is instructionally sound.
The Science4Us content intentionally follows the 5E Instructional Model of Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate (Literacy Skills, Literacy Arts, STEM Skills, and Investigate, and finally Evaluate.
Regardless of what activities the teacher selects to include in their assignment, the activities will be displayed for the student in 5E, sequential order, on their assignment card.
If a teacher doesn’t want their students to work in sequential order, they can opt out of this when building their assignment. This can be modified from sequential to self-select. In step #2 of the assignment builder, teachers can check the box next to “Allow students to complete activities in any order.”
