Using The MatchCards
MatchCards are used to teach and review the material. Each objective has it's own corresponding MatchCard which will have:
- A diagram, illustration, or table
- Information pieces to manipulate (they are cut from a separate page and laminated with tape)
- Instructor's key with correct answers
- Suggested activities
Review Is Built Into the MatchCards
- Each week your students will learn one (or maybe two) objectives with a different MatchCard.
- Several times a week they will review five MatchCards.
- A special notebook is kept to circulate the MatchCards. This will become a favorite game with your students.
- Watch as your kids identify those scientific concepts in their environment. Because they routinely review old content, they remain conscious of the concepts around them.
