It is well noted that questions grow out of our basic encounters with the world and questions are at the core of science and engineering: What is the nature of? Asking questions and evaluating evidence are central to the ways in which scientists and engineers engage in their work. As they raise and seek answers to questions, scientists and engineers wrestle with contradictions, puzzle through par

adoxes, search for connections and explanations, and engage in the multitude of ways that the natural and human-made world presents itself. These are also the ways in which we believe that students best learn about science and engineering. Furthermore, we believe that children are born investigators, understanding develops over time, students’ interests must connect to their experiences, and science and engineering require both knowledge and practice. Our mission based on these beliefs, is to promote scientific literacy among all students. We want our students to develop disciplinary core ideas using overarching themes and scientific and engineering practices. Our goals are to encourage students to:
• Engage in the ways that scientists and engineers do
• Find meaning in their investigations to explain phenomena
• Integrate new experiences with prior understanding
• Evaluate problems and rethink ideas

With the support of our district and state and federal governments, we give our students the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in these areas. We expect our students to learn the core ideas and practices of science and engineering. We expect students to learn them, just as they are expected to learn how to read and write. This is accomplished through a continuum of learning that begins in the early school years and continues into their high school years.

🌞 Summer Science: The WHY Wonder-List

🎉 You Thought Like a Scientist All Summer

This summer you...
✔ Noticed patterns
✔ Asked questions
✔ Collected evidence
✔ Built explanations
✔ Tested ideas

That's exactly what scientists do every day. Science isn't about memorizing answers. It's about making sense of the world.

Keep wondering.

We'll see you back in science class! See you soon.

🌞 Summer Science: The WHY Wonder-List
This summer, don’t just learn science…
Be a scientist!

Week 4 (Grades K-5)
💧 The Mystery of the Disappearing Puddle
After a summer rain...
The sidewalk is covered with puddles.
A few hours later...
They're gone.

Where did the water go?

Your Mission

Find a puddle.
Draw a chalk circle around it.
Come back every hour and draw another circle.
Watch what changes.

Wonder
Does the water sink into the sidewalk?
Or does it move somewhere else?
Try comparing a puddle in the sun with one in the shade.

Which disappears first?
What evidence supports your thinking?

Week 3 (Grades 9-12)
🟢 The Mystery of the Algal Bloom

Have you ever noticed a pond that suddenly turns bright green?
That isn't just algae...
It's an entire ecosystem changing.

Visit a local pond.
Where does water enter it?
Could fertilizers, storm drains, or runoff affect what happens

Investigate the nitrogen cycle.

How are people connected to what happens beneath the water's surface?
